Chapter 71 Two on Two
But Coach Gordon still came to the side of the court, raised a finger and emphasized, "Ten minutes. Regardless of whether we win or lose, we must stop after ten minutes."
He knew Reese's character too well. Once Reese made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. In addition, Nie Chuan really needed more experience. It was a rare opportunity for Owen and Larven to join forces. If there weren't so many onlookers, Coach Gao really wanted to have a friendly match! Of course, he could only keep this idea in his heart.
"Want to fight for the ball?" Coach Gordon came to the center line of the court with the basketball.
"certainly."
Reese naturally took on the role of fighting for the ball, and Owen looked at Larven, who smiled and said, "I'll leave the physical work of jumping up to you, and I'll keep an eye on Alan."
So Nie Chuan stood not far from Reese. Before the game started, his nerves were already tense.
Larven also put away his smile, his eyes darkened. He stared at Nie Chuan coldly, like a hunter staring at a little quail who was completely unaware of the danger through a scope.
The ball flew into the air, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Reese and Owen jumped up at the same time, and the explosive power they displayed at that moment was astonishing.
This was the first time Nie Chuan saw Reese fight for the ball. His speed in rushing to the sky was even faster than that of Montenegro!
The two players were at the same height and hit the ball at the same time.
Nie Chuan's nerves were so tense that they were about to break - who would get the ball? Who!
Reese was like a comet hitting a star. At the most critical moment, he pushed Owen aside and kicked the ball out.
Nie Chuan jumped up, caught the ball, and rushed towards the opponent's basket at full speed without hesitation.
But before he reached the three-second zone, Larven had caught up.
What kind of monster is this guy!
Nie Chuan had no time to think. He had to either dribble past Larvin or find the best time to pass the ball to Reese!
Owen simply gave up defending Reese, and instead joined forces with Larven to attack Nie Chuan from the front and back!
Reese reacted quickly and rushed over, standing behind Nie Chuan and blocking Owen for him.
Although it was only two-on-two, many tactics could not be implemented, and the offensive and defensive methods became monotonous. For Nie Chuan, judging the situation was more complicated than in a team competition!
Many people around had already taken out their phones to record the video, and the sports reporters who had wanted to interview Reese earlier also set up their positions and began to work. It seemed that this was not a two-on-two competition, but a highly anticipated game in the league.
Nie Chuan's speed of changing direction and fake moves had already surpassed the level when he was competing with Larven. In just one second, he swung his shoulders to the left and stopped suddenly, making Larven think that he was going to change direction to the right, but he didn't expect that he took a small step back and then quickly cut to the left again.
Larven was caught off guard, and Nie Chuan passed quickly.
This instant caused the surrounding onlookers to exclaim in surprise, because Nie Chuan's movements were so graceful and beautiful, just like the steps of a tango dance. The unique rhythm and the unexpectedness that could not be followed by the eyes made people look forward to his subsequent performance.
He was about to dribble for a layup, but LaVine jumped high to intercept him.
With such strong jumping ability, Larven came from behind and was about to block Nie Chuan's shot.
Nie Chuan had to admit that he was horrified, because he had never expected Larven's speed and explosive power to reach such a level. But he didn't need to think, his body had already reacted.
He turned his body back, changing his posture in the air without any distortion, and his fingers deftly pushed the ball into Larvin's palm.
That was K. Compared to the last one-on-one match, Nie Chuan's technique and sense of balance were obviously more mature.
Larvin didn't give Nie Chuan a second chance to succeed. He hooked his wrist and changed the direction of the ball with his fingers. The ball finally hit the basket and bounced out.
There was a sigh of relief from the surroundings. Such a wonderful confrontation happened in a time when people didn't even have time to count down. Both Nie Chuan's unfinished K and Larvin's defense were classics that made people's blood boil.
When it comes to rebounds, Nie Chuan knows that he has no advantage over Larvin. No matter what happens under the basket, he is ready to return to defense at full speed.
Owen and Reese ran towards the basket and jumped at the same time, but Reese was farther away than Owen. The moment the two jumped into the air, they felt extremely powerful, which was the most direct contest of explosive power. Although Reese was farther away than Owen, he reached almost the same height as Owen at the same moment, and the distance between his feet and the ground made the people around him exclaim in unison.
But this time, Owen had the advantage in distance. He grabbed the ball, changed direction with a big shake of his shoulders, passed Reese and rushed towards the basket.
Nie Chuan ran quickly beside Owen, constantly putting pressure on him on the left. Larven caught up, ready to support Owen at any time.
Owen dribbled the ball to one side and tried to pass Nie Chuan, but unexpectedly Reese lowered his center of gravity and passed by him quickly. Owen passed the ball to the back in a flash. The speed of this pass was so fast that it was unexpected.
But Nie Chuan stopped chasing Owen, leaned back, stretched his arms, and at that moment his body formed a beautiful arc. Everyone thought he would lose his balance and fall, but he caught the ball before Larvin caught it! No one saw how Nie Chuan adjusted his center of gravity. They only knew that he took a small step back and stood firm in an instant, then quickly dribbled the ball into the opponent's area!
There was applause all around; the interception was so brilliant.
Ewing, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned: "Alan was obviously the last one to join us...but why do I feel that he has left me far behind?"
Neither Carlo nor Montenegro said anything, but just patted Ewing on the shoulder.
Nie Chuan's speed is already top-notch among point guards, but Larvin still caught up with him.
The last time he had a one-on-one fight with Larven, Nie Chuan had not had the chance to experience his crazy speed, but at this moment he was still frightened. How could he get rid of this guy?
Reese also caught up, running side by side with Larven. Nie Chuan ran on the left side of the basketball court, but Owen pressed on his direction of breakthrough.
In a flash, Owen appeared in front of Nie Chuan. His eyes exuded a chill, like a quiet but ferocious beast that could bite off Nie Chuan's neck at any time.
Calm down, Nie Chuan... Calm down...
Nie Chuan slowed down, while Reese and Larvin kept moving, looking for the best opportunity to connect with their teammates.
The striker must move forward!
But Owen's defense was too tight. No matter how realistic and fast Nie Chuan's fake moves were, he could always keep up. This feeling of being bitten tightly made Nie Chuan feel inexplicably desperate.
Reese suddenly shook off Lavin and ran quickly to the basket.
Nie Chuan suddenly understood something, and his center of gravity quickly lowered. He made a ground pass, and the ball's impact point was just beside Owen's left foot. The angle was very subtle, and Owen had to lower his center of gravity to intercept it, but Nie Chuan's pass was at a low angle, and even Reese couldn't catch it.
Just when everyone was lamenting that Nie Chuan's efforts were fruitless, Nie Chuan suddenly and quickly bypassed Owen and caught up with the ball.
Everyone opened their mouths half-open, never expecting Nie Chuan to get through Owen in this way!
Nie Chuan dribbled the ball forward quickly, facing Larvin in front of him and Owen who was chasing him behind him. When everyone was worried about him, he jumped high. He was already at the three-point line.
Ewing grabbed Carlo tightly and widened his eyes: Is Allen going to take the risk of shooting?
But Nie Chuan sent the ball out from under Larvin's arm at the moment when Larvin jumped up to intercept.
The ball went from bottom to top, Reese caught the ball, jumped up, and quickly dunked!
After a second of silence, thunderous applause broke out from the outside.
The value of this goal is really too high!
Whether it is the rhythm of the offense or the tightness of the defense, it makes people want to replay it in slow motion and savor it carefully!
Nie Chuan clenched his fists and whistled to himself.
Many female fans outside the stadium couldn't help but sigh: "He is so cute!"
"Why didn't I realize that Oriental boys could be so handsome before!"
Hearing their voices, Nie Chuan looked towards them and gave them a big smile.
Reese came over and tapped him on the head.
Nie Chuan immediately covered his head and looked at Reese in confusion.
And Owen raised his eyebrows at Larven: "Didn't you say you would keep an eye on that brat?"
"He's like a groundhog, always popping up from unexpected places." Larven lowered his chin. "That's what makes it interesting.
Well."
Time is extremely precious. In the next round, Larvin dribbled the ball like a gust of wind passing by Nie Chuan's ears. Without any fancy moves, he went straight through Nie Chuan's defense.
But Nie Chuan quickly came to his senses and quickly caught up.
LaVine dribbled the ball for a layup, and Reese was so fast that he shook off Owen and caught up with him. The moment he jumped up, he was about to block LaVine's shot, but LaVine retrieved the ball in the air.
Nie Chuan was terrified. This guy was going to do a layup!
Sure enough, when Larven passed the basketball up again, Nie Chuan found the right opportunity to jump up and touched the basketball with his fingertips, causing Larven to lose his aim.
The basketball bounced up, and Reese and Owen rushed for the rebound. In just a few seconds, there was a melee under the basket.
Reese seemed to have intercepted the ball with a slight advantage, but for masters like them, a slight advantage means a huge difference in the outcome.
Just as Reese was about to start dribbling the ball, Laerven left Nie Chuan behind and caught up with Reese. At the moment when Laerven was about to grab the ball, everyone was sweating, but Reese dribbled the ball behind his back and dodged Laerven. Unexpectedly, Owen was behind him.
The ball was knocked down with a bang.
"Oh——" the people around exclaimed.
Owen sped towards the basket.
Reese was about to chase but Larven stood in front of Reese, and Nie Chuan quickly caught up.
Owen jumped up and was about to dunk, and Nie Chuan jumped up with all his strength.
Damn it - you guys are a bunch of explosive monsters!
Nie Chuan clenched his teeth. He had never pushed so hard in his life.
Ou En never expected that Nie Chuan could jump to such a height. Half of his palm almost hit his ball.
Coach Gordon was dumbfounded. He had never seen Nie Chuan jump to this height during normal practice or the game just now.
Behind him, the shutter clicks of sports reporters were snapping.
But Owen, who had experienced many battles, retrieved the ball in an instant, passed Nie Chuan when he landed, and was about to dunk backwards, but Reese made an extremely complex move.
However, he was so quick that he used a fake move like a sharp blade to get past Lavine and came to the basket. Just as Owen jumped up and was about to shoot, he was blocked by Reese.
The audience's nerves were about to break, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.
Larven and Nie Chuan rushed to fight for the ball that was knocked away.
Larvin, who had the advantage in speed, intercepted the ball from Nie Feng's fingers, quickly stepped back, and jumped up on the spot to shoot!
Nie Chuan had to jump again. Larven was taller than Nie Chuan, but it was not known whether it was the jump just now that made Nie Chuan find
It feels like the height of this jump still exceeded everyone's expectations.
But he was still a little bit short of LaVine's ball.
The ball went into the basket smoothly.
The two landed almost at the same time. Nie Chuan glared at Larven fiercely, but Larven blew a kiss to Nie Chuan with a teasing expression.
Finally, the dust settled and the audience around could finally let out their held breath.
At this point, Coach Gordon raised his hands and shouted, "All right, kids! Time's up!"
"What, time is up?" Larven looked at his watch in disbelief. "Coach, are you mistaken? It's only five minutes.
bell."
Coach Gordon shrugged his shoulders. "But our bus is here. The driver is a hot-tempered man who doesn't like to wait for people. The real excitement
Let’s save the games for the league.”
Everyone made a sound of regret.
"Let them fight again!"
"Why don't you let them fight?"
Despite wave after wave of complaints and condemnations, Coach Gordon showed no sign of wavering.
The combination of Reese and Nie Chuan has attracted too much attention. He doesn't want any campus sports weekly or basketball weekly to make special reports on these two children, and he doesn't want any opponents to specifically study their cooperation and playing style.
If it's just testing the waters, then let's stop here.
Coach Gordon looked at Nie Chuan. He already knew Nie Chuan very well.
What can make Nie Chuan grow is not how much time he spends competing with masters, but the quality of the competition. This child is like a sponge, and will quickly absorb all the moisture around him, but he must be left with enough space to expand.
