Well, I also want to know how far I can go when facing league-level opponents without Reese and Ewing?

Nie Chuan flexed his wrist and walked onto the basketball court. The second quarter of the game was about to begin.

Mr. Lynn has taken out the camera and is setting it up for recording.

In the audience, several students started discussing.

"Why did you replace Reese and Ewing? If you replace them, will this game be worth watching?"

"Yes, efu played with its main lineup in the second half!"

"There's nothing we can do. Who wants this to be just a practice match? We need to give the main substitutes and other players a chance to experience the league level."

Old Bu, who was sitting across from the basketball court, stroked his chin and said, "It seems that in the second half, we will become DK's sharpening stone. It's a good opportunity to see the strength of DK's backups."

As the whistle sounded, EFU's small forward received the ball and quickly passed Chuck's defense, facing Peter's defense.

He was about to pass the ball to his teammate in front of him on the right side, but the ball was suddenly intercepted and taken away, leaving him completely unable to react.

"Back to defense - back to defense -" the efu players off the field shouted.

At this moment, Nie Chuan had already brought the ball into the opponent's three-point line.

"The one with black hair... so fast!"

Nie Chuan was about to make a layup, but he was facing the opponent's center. This guy was much taller than Nie Chuan, and Nie Chuan's chances of being blocked were very high if he made a rash shot.

However, when Nie Chuan jumped up, he did not shoot. Instead, he passed the ball diagonally to the back, and Carlo received the ball and made a shot.

"Oh——" Carlo turned around and put his hand on Nie Chuan's shoulder, "It's worth remembering! It's worth remembering! This is the first ball you passed to me in this game!"

Nie Chuan shrugged his shoulders: "Carlo, you are too heavy."

After saying that, he ran back.

He was thinking about the situation on the court while running. It seemed that he was really fast, and he had an advantage in launching fast breaks, but without any preparation, only Carlo could keep up with his speed. Montenegro focused on the defense under the basket. Peter was quite good, but he didn't have enough tacit understanding with him. Although Chuck's scoring ability on the outside was not bad, he was always overshadowed by Ewing's brilliance. He had to create scoring opportunities for him and boost his self-confidence.

And Old Bull frowned: "This defender is very fast..."

After all, efu is an old face in the league. After they learned about Nie Chuan's speed, they started to defend him one-on-one. And considering Nie Chuan's height, it was the big center who defended him.

Nie Chuan really wanted to hold his face. I have grown taller, but I didn't expect that my height would be considered a weakness by others.

He turned his head and looked in Reese's direction.

Reese and Mr. Lynn sat side by side, and Mr. Lynn asked, "Do you think the players sent by the other side can guard Alan?"

"No." Reese answered without thinking.

"So who do you think they should send to defend Allen, or what tactics would be more effective in defending Allen?"

"If it's one-on-one, I'm the only one who can defend him."

Mr. Lynn smiled: "Are you too confident in yourself or are you blindly trusting Alan?"

Reese didn't answer, but just raised his chin, meaning: You'll know after watching the game.

Peter was intercepted by two opposing players while dribbling and passed the ball to Chuck. As soon as Chuck brought the ball into the opponent's area, he met the opponent's small forward. In a hurry, Chuck passed the ball to one side, but the person waiting there was not his teammate, but the point guard of efu.

"Oh... such a low-level mistake actually happened!"

"This guy is no good, replace him!"

EFU's point guard quickly led the rhythm of the counterattack, and the entire front line moved closer to DK.

At that moment, Nie Chuan turned around and ran to the left. The center defending him chased after him and was about to block him, but unexpectedly he suddenly stopped and ran to the other side. When the efu center reacted and tried to catch up, Nie Chuan had already shaken him off and was running parallel to the opponent's point guard.

Peter also caught up. Nie Chuan glanced at him and made a fist gesture. He was not sure whether Peter understood his hint.

Nie Chuan always defended on the side of the opponent's point guard, and his speed and rhythm were consistent with the opponent. The opponent failed to get rid of Nie Chuan after several fake moves.

He was anxious, and when he turned sideways, he found that his teammate who came to support him was being defended by Peter. Just when he turned around and took the ball, his hands were empty. The ball had been intercepted by Nie Chuan.

"Oh——" There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Because Nie Chuan's move was too fast, and it happened at the moment when his opponent was distracted, his grasp of the timing was perfect.

Nie Chuan was about to start, and the opponent's small forward and power forward came to defend Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan suddenly shouted: "Chuck - opportunity!"

Chuck turned sideways, his position almost unguarded.

But he is so far away from Nie Chuan...

Just when everyone thought that was just Nie Chuan's way of diverting the opponent's attention, Nie Chuan passed the ball, which quickly passed through two players and was steadily caught by Chuck.

There was another exclamation of “Oh——” from the audience.

Even Mr. Lin En, who was holding the camera, was stunned.

Chuck jumped up and his posture in the air was very stable. He won the point without any suspense.

Nie Chuan ran over and put his arm around Chuck's shoulders from behind: "Haha! Chuck you're awesome!"

Chuck carried Nie Chuan on his back and smiled shyly: "I... I didn't expect that no one would defend me!"

On the bench, Ewing, who was chewing gum, nudged Reese with his elbow: "Hey, Alan has really grown up. He knows how to build confidence for his teammates."

Mr. Lin En then realized that Nie Chuan had deliberately attracted the opponent's attention to himself to create enough space for Chuck.

"His passes are at precise angles, but you can't predict at what speed he will pass the ball. In terms of a guard's ball-handling ability, he is already very good. But an excellent point guard cannot display his dispatching ability if he does not have teammates with quick reactions," Coach Gordon said.

Mr. Lin En lowered his head and looked at the footage he had just recorded, only to find that the pass was not only fast, but also at a height that was difficult for the opposing players to react to.

Not only that, this three-pointer boosted Chuck's confidence, and he made two consecutive three-pointers afterwards.

Although lacking inside and outside scoring talents like Reese and Ewing, DK always maintained the score gap with EFU at double digits.

Lao Bu's eyes darkened, and he stared at Nie Chuan's figure: "We have to think of a way."

Nie Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Chuck was not the only one around him. Peter had balanced abilities in all aspects. Carlo's explosiveness under the basket and Montenegro's rebounding strength had not yet had a chance to display.

At this time, the players off the field of efu shouted in unison: "Come on! Come on! efu!"

The momentum is no weaker than that of DK's cheerleading team.

Old Bull stretched out his palm towards the center of EFU and made a pressing gesture, and the whole team understood.

As the game progressed, Nie Chuan soon discovered that EFU began to adopt a one-on-one man-to-man strategy. The center who was originally defending Nie Chuan also left and returned to the basket to compete with Montenegro.

EFU's point guard is agile, but it is not difficult for Nie Chuan to pass through his defense. He made two consecutive fake moves that were so natural that people wanted to hit him, and easily broke through the defense and entered the opponent's area.

But Chuck's receiving position was defended by the opponent, and Peter had no advantageous position.

Montenegro and Carlo were fighting for position under the basket, while the opponent's point guard had caught up with Nie Chuan from behind.

Nie Chuan rushed to the basket without hesitation and prepared to shoot.

The opponent's point guard and shooting guard both rushed up, but Nie Chuan still jumped without hesitation.

"This kid is crazy——"

Nie Chuan's leaping height exceeded his opponent's imagination, but this still could not guarantee that he would not make mistakes.

EFU's power forward and center were ready for the rebound, but Nie Chuan retrieved the ball in the air, swung it like a pendulum, and passed the ball out to the side.

With a "bang", the ball passed by the opponent's center's waist and was caught by Montenegro.

Montenegro roared and dunked, but by the time the opponent's center turned around to stop him, it was too late.

The whole stadium was shaking and the audience started shouting.

Nie Chuan came to the basket and high-fived Heishan.

"Montenegro, how do you know that shot of mine wasn't a rebound?"

If it was a rebound, Montenegro did not have an advantageous position, but when the opponent's center blocked Montenegro behind him and lay on his back ready to grab the rebound at any time, Montenegro moved to the outside, leaving space for Nie Chuan to pass the ball.

"Because I know you. Facing two defenders, you still choose to shoot. Such a risk is meaningless, so your shot is just a fake move. Not only to deceive the opponent's defenders, but also to attract attention under the basket."

Nie Chuan touched the tip of his nose. It turned out that Heishan looked big, but he was actually very thoughtful. Moreover, he had been observing him.

Suddenly I felt that it was a lucky thing to have a teammate like Montenegro who looked low-key but was careful and reliable in the team.

However, efu's one-on-one did greatly curb dk's offensive, and such a stalemate reflected their strong defensive capabilities.

Nie Chuan dribbled the ball, and he had to create opportunities to score in every attack, which made Nie Chuan very nervous.

However, as long as it is human defense, it is not unbreakable.

Nie Chuan exhaled, and glanced at Peter in front of him on the left. Although there was no communication between him and Peter, and it was a bit awkward because of the one-on-one at the pool party, Peter had been on Nie Chuan's flank throughout the game, constantly restraining the opponent and creating a lot of room for Nie Chuan to move.

Nie Chuan felt that Peter, who was so serious and didn't care about gains and losses, became cute.

EFU's defense became tighter and the tempo of the game was slowed down. Nie Chuan became the opponent's key defensive target. They deliberately blocked the passing angle between his teammates and Nie Chuan. The basket was the battlefield between Montenegro and Carlo. The situation was always very tense. Once close to the basket, Nie Chuan knew that it would be difficult for him to find a chance to score.

Moreover, the tacit cooperation between their small forward and shooting guard gradually emerged, whether it was a buzzer beater within the three-point line or a mid-range or long-range shot, it caught DK off guard. Watching the score being chased from double digits by EFU to single digits.

Mr. Lin En, who was holding the camera, couldn't help but say, "Replacing a speed and offensive player like Reese, and removing a strong outside support like Ewing, it is really impossible to resist the main lineup of EFU..."

The opponent's shooting guard jumped again. If this three-pointer went in, it would deal a fatal blow to DK's morale.

Just when the opponent was about to kick the ball out, Nie Chuan rushed to him regardless of everything and jumped up with all his might.

Everyone was amazed at his speed. EFU's coach, Old Bu, said in his heart: It's too late, kid.

But the height of that jump was beyond the opponent's expectation. His fingertips touched the basketball, changing the arc of the ball and hitting the edge of the basket.

As early as when Nie Chuan shot, Heishan had already made sufficient preparations for this rebound. He instantly got in front of the opponent's center, let out a huge roar when he jumped, and snatched the ball with great momentum.

"Black Mountain!" Nie Chuan came to support. Black Mountain passed the ball to Nie Chuan before being double-teamed by two opposing players. Obviously, it was DK who was under tight defense by the opponent, but the rhythm was completely controlled by DK.

Nie Chuan received the ball, and the opponent's point guard was already in front of him. He glanced over his opponent's shoulder and saw Peter. He was indeed very close to Nie Chuan. Nie Chuan took a probing step and then stepped back, creating distance, and jumped on the spot. Even though he knew that Nie Chuan might just be faking it, he was still likely to make the shot from this distance. The efu point guard had to jump to intercept, and it was indeed a fake move by Nie Chuan. He didn't jump with all his strength, but dribbled around him and rushed towards Carlo.

Carlo was also ready to receive the ball, and everyone wanted to cut off the connection between them. Nie Chuan was very fast, and two players chased him to defend, but he let the ball go when passing by Peter, and the others did not react and still ran one or two steps behind him.

Just when efu's attention was diverted by Nie Chuan, Peter quickly cut into the basket and scored a layup.

The coordination of this ball was so exquisite that Mr. Lin En was stunned: "I didn't expect DK's tacit understanding to be so high!"

Old Bull narrowed his eyes and looked at Nie Chuan's back. In fact, the main contributor to this goal was neither Carlo nor Peter, but Nie Chuan.

"It seems that DK has found a difficult character to replace Connor..."

But efu did not sit still and wait for death. The shooting guard and point guard who were originally defending Chuck defended Nie Chuan together.

"Wow! Did you see that? EFU sent two people to defend that black-haired guy!"

"That's for sure! Every time he passes the ball, it's so skillful that we can't even stop him!"

"And the speed of passing is super fast!"

"The fake moves are just as real as the real thing!"

"Didn't you say that if Reese and Ewing were substituted, there would be nothing interesting to watch? Why do I feel that the game is more interesting than the first quarter?"

Lily looked at Nie Chuan on the field and sighed: "Look how dazzling he is?"

Serin smiled slightly: "Yes, he is dazzling."

"Do you regret now for not accepting his feelings for you?" Lily asked half-jokingly.

Serin shook her head: "I don't regret it, because it wasn't me who made him so dazzling."

Facing two defenders, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball while turning sideways so that he could focus on both of them at the same time.

Mr. Gordon nodded and said to Reese beside him, "I was worried that he would do most of the exercises one-on-one, with his vision focused on one opponent. But I didn't expect that his vision is very broad and will not be limited to one person."

At this time, Nie Chuan glanced at the bench outside the field, and Reese seemed to have a faint smile on his lips.

When everyone thought that the defense of the two opponents would greatly limit Nie Chuan's ability, three seconds later, Nie Chuan made them realize how arbitrary their thoughts were.

His European step was like a tumbler, exceeding the expectations of his opponents. He directly passed both opponents, accelerated instantly, and rushed into the basket.

Everyone thought he would pass the ball to Chuck behind him, but Chuck's shooting direction was instantly blocked by efu. Nie Chuan seemed to have expected it, and had no intention of passing the ball, and jumped up with the ball.

The height of that jump was comparable to a slam dunk!

The audience opened their mouths wide, waiting for the loud bang.

The opponent's power forward and small forward both jumped up and blocked the basket.

Just when everyone was lamenting that the ball could not be scored, Nie Chuan turned his wrist, slightly sideways in the air, and sent the basketball out from under their elbows.

The basketball fell smoothly into the basket.

There was no sense of distortion in Nie Chuan's posture, and even his landing was very stable.

With a "clang", the entire basketball hall suddenly became quiet.

The referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the game.

Nie Chuan exhaled, lifted the collar of his T-shirt, and wiped the sweat from his chin.

Suddenly someone outside the stadium started clapping. Nie Chuan turned his head and saw Reese.

His expression was indifferent, as if he had already expected that Nie Chuan's shot would go in, but the clapping and such was the first time Nie Chuan saw him express his admiration for someone so openly.

Immediately afterwards, applause broke out from the audience.

"Oh my God! Did you see how he scored that goal? I thought it was a slam dunk..."

"But it's even more exciting than a slam dunk! He jumped so high! And he was able to adjust his posture in the air, it's amazing!"

"I will follow the basketball league wherever it goes this year!"

Nie Chuan was extremely happy, and he realized that he had scored the last goal! He ran towards Carlo, who was closest to him, and hung on Carlo.

"Ha ha! Carlo! I got the points - you see there's no share for me!"

"I see it! I see it! I was wondering when you, little brat, would be able to jump to the height for a slam dunk! But I didn't expect you to fool me again. It wasn't a slam dunk at all!" Carlo happily hugged Nie Chuan and jumped twice on the spot.

The players of EFU were silent. They knew very well that without Reese and Ewing, DK was still able to maintain the lead until the end of the game. This showed how huge the strength gap was.

And Nie Chuan's last goal had reached another level.

Watching the video playback, Mr. Lin En sighed: "This reminds me of his K again. Not only is he good at ball control, he is also capable of playing as a small forward. I thought he would be a sharp guy, but I was totally wrong. He hid his sharpness and then broke our expectations again and again."

Coach Gordon remained silent.

This made Ewing curious: "Coach, Allen's performance is so outstanding, don't you have any comments?"

Gordon asked Reese, "Is there still something on his wrist?"

"Yes. It's just a practice match, there's no need to take it off," Reese replied.

Coach Gordon laughed: "You are such a bad guy. You carefully tried to hide Allen's edge, but it's a pity that it's not that easy to hide."

In fact, the game had been going on for so long and after fully engaging himself in it, Nie Chuan had long forgotten what was on his wrist.

The coaches from both teams commented on each other's performance.

Coach Gordon expressed his appreciation for efu's defensive ability, especially some details of mutual cooperation, which were exquisitely pointed out by Coach Gordon.

And Old Bull patted Reese on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you didn't stay from the beginning to the end."

"If you had shown your strength early on, maybe I would have stayed on the court until the end." Reese still respected Old Bull very much.

"Actually, I want to know how strong DK will be with an offensive sharp blade like you and that kid's ball-handling ability." Old Bu looked in the direction of Nie Chuan.

At this moment, Nie Chuan was looking for chocolate in his sports jacket.

"Hey, that's not right! I remember putting it here! How come it's gone?"

"Alan, what are you looking for? You're turning around like a groundhog." Ewing asked with amusement.

"I'm looking for my chocolate!"

"Really? I think I saw Reese give Mr. Lynn a chocolate bar..."

"That's mine... I saved it for after the game..."

Nie Chuan looked in Reese's direction with resentment. Reese seemed to sense his gaze, turned his head sideways, and seemed to be saying: What's the matter?

It's alright, it's alright... nothing happened...

"I hope we can have a few more practice games like this before the intensive training in October." Ewing stretched. "I only played for a dozen minutes in total. It was really frustrating!"

"Really? But I feel great!"

Running as hard as he could and trying every possible way to create opportunities, Nie Chuan felt that he seemed to love basketball even more.
