The Way of the Center

Chapter 36: : Who consumes whom?

   The Stanford Crimson team was not affected by the ball just now, and they played the same way, letting Brooke solve the problem inside.

   But when Brook Lopez entangled with Anjie again, he found that he could no longer perform as well as before. An Jie grabbed Brooke's jersey roughly, allowing Brooke to exert his strength, but An Jie would never take a step back.

   "Huh, that's the truth." Brook Lopez didn't reluctantly attack, but passed the ball to his brother.

   Robin Lopez, with his brother's superb scoring ability, did all the dirty work such as defense and rebounding. Under Brooke's light, Robin is always easy to be ignored by people, especially his very standard turn-over jumper.

   After Robin received the ball, Asakin immediately got close to him. He knew that Robin Lopez's biggest shortcoming was the slightly insufficient power. As long as he stood up to it, this guy would not get a chance.

   But Robin didn't even intend to go to the basket. He held the ball and swayed his shoulder to the right. The opponents other than Asakin wanted to break through and immediately moved a small step. Robin found that the "wall" behind him was a little offset, he immediately turned to the left and faced the basket. After taking off, Robin Lopez leaned back slightly, and Asakin had no way to interfere with the opponent's shooting.

   "Swipe." Robin Lopez made a hollow jumper from the penalty area. After the goal, Robin hooked both Anjie and Asakin. My brother is indeed very strong, but this does not mean that you can underestimate the power of my brother.

   Rickard didn't care about Robin's goal. Asakin would not have been hit by Robin so much. The same trick would not be used a few times. The victory or defeat in the inside line still lies with Anjie and Brook, and the others don't have to worry about him at all.

   Asakin’s task is to assist An Jie as much as possible, so that the opponent’s Twin Towers will not play too easily inside. He only needs to do this, and the task of defeating these two brothers is left to An Jie.

After   , the Tornado’s offense was not handed over to the inside. It was Ricard's arrangement. The first attack must be handed over to the inside, and then proceed as usual. Anjie is not a stubborn center, on the contrary, he is more capable of creating scoring opportunities on the move.

   High pick and roll, the Cyclone team's simplest and most efficient offensive method.

   "I'll follow, brother, you guard the penalty area." Robin volunteered to go out to defend An Jie, who had mentioned a high position, and wanted to lead Brook out? not that simple!

   After the pick-and-roll, An Jie didn't go down aggressively as usual, nor did he pull back and prepare to shoot. He was so dazed that he didn't have anything to do with him in this attack. An Jie is to use Stanford University's emphasis on himself to create opportunities for his teammates.

   When everyone was observing what Anjie would do, Mike Taylor had broken through to a position just three meters away from the basket.

   "What!?" Brook couldn't care about Asakin who was still behind him. He opened his arms and threw at Mike Taylor.

   Mike Taylor knew that ordinary shots would only be blocked by the big man in front of him, so he had to use a throw that he didn't usually use. Infrequent use does not mean that Mike Taylor is not good at it. He softly threw the ball to the basket and Brook Lopez took off with all his strength, but the basketball flew past his fingertips.

   Asakin got stuck in a favorable rebounding position, but the basketball still scored after two bounces on the hoop.

   "Mike Taylor responded strongly! He refused to hand over the game to these big men. He reminded everyone that he is also one of the top players of the Tornado team!"

   "Good job." An Jie touched Mike Taylor's head like a child, and Mike Taylor also smiled happily under An Jie's armpit. This team has nothing to rob or not, and there is no team boss. Everyone is willing to sacrifice their own glory for the team, and everyone is advancing for victory.

"Under the hype of the media, we seem to have forgotten what has supported the Tornado team to the present, it is the integrity! Anjie will not blindly smash with the Lopez brothers, as long as the team needs, he is even willing to become completely A blue-collar player."

   But Ricard would not be so extravagant to let An Jie just be a blue-collar player. In this game, An Jie will be his last hole card, but it hasn't come out yet.

The game after    was much dull compared to the beginning, and people did not see the expected center battle again. Mike Taylor is obviously the first attack point for the Tornadoes in this game. An Jie is the only pick and roll on the offensive end to contain him. He hasn't attacked independently for a long time.

   But even if Anjie did not attack again, Brook Lopez did not sit idle. Taylor deliberately reduced the number of mid-range shots he made today, but on the contrary, he hit the penalty area significantly more times than before. After throwing shots, breaking the ball again and again, no matter what method he used, Brook Lopez had to react.

   "Do you want to use the guard to consume Brooke first?" Stanford University Crimson team coach Larry Miles touched the stubble on his chin.

   When the ball was dead, the fans saw Coach Miles preparing to replace a substitute player, but this person... is the center! ?

"Coach Miles replaced Brook Lopez!? Brook was asking the referee if he had a wrong number, and he didn't even believe that he would be replaced so early." Paul Philips looked at himself in surprise. Brook Lopez is not injured in all this happening under the nose?

   "Coach, this..."

   Before Brook Lopez could finish speaking, Miles, with white hair, motioned for Lopez to sit next to him.

"The opponent wants to use the impact of the guard to consume your physical strength. I just temporarily replaced you to protect. Don't worry, your brother will withstand the pressure of the penalty area. When the Chinese from the Tornado team starts to get tired, I will You are sent to the court, can you do whatever you want in the penalty area?"

   "But..." Brook Lopez was not afraid to confront the Asian right now.

"Stop talking, you are my star, and I will definitely maximize your power." Fans want to see a duel between two powerful centers. It's a fan business. What Miles has to do is to bring The team won, in order to achieve this goal, he will not consider that the fans are not satisfied.

   Hearing this, Brook Lopez can't say anything. Coach Larry Miles has never treated him badly and has absolute trust in him. Today it is time for him to trust his coach.

   Seeing Brook Lopez go off the court, Anjie was also very surprised. But no matter what purpose the other party is in, he must seize the opportunity now. Robin Lopez? An Jie has a way to deal with him.

   Anjie’s performance immediately changed from one hundred and eighty degrees, and he began to become active on the offensive end. Facing Robin Lopez's defense, Angel is obviously more calm. Although Robin has the same height as his twin brother, his strength and footwork are far worse than Brooke.

   Watching Anjie finish scoring again and again on the court, Brooke clenched his fists off the court. He has cast his eyes on his coach more than once, but Larry Miles is still observing the situation on the court calmly and has no intention of changing players.

   An angry Robin Lopez yelled at the name of point guard Kelly Foster and motioned for him to pass the ball to himself. However, after receiving the ball this time, he did not face Asakin again, and the defender became An Jie.

   "The result is the same when you come!" Robin muttered to himself, he pushed it in a few times, but the effect was not good.

   Shake your shoulders! Robin Lopez decided to repeat the same trick.

   "Smelly boy!" Brooke cried out inwardly when Robin was about to take a shot like this.

   Anjie didn't take Robin Lopez's fake action at all. He himself particularly liked the shot behind his shoulders. The routine inside Anjie was very clear.

   Robin still has a slight backwards after the jump, but he clearly found that the Chinese has a much larger defensive range than Asakin.

   Robin Lopez still successfully shot the ball, but the ball just flew out and was blocked by An Jie's outstretched palm. Robin, who was the cap of the Pacific Ten League, was chosen by An Jie first.

   Robin immediately picked up his blocked ball, but in the face of An Jie's forcing, he could only choose to pass the ball.

   "Coach!" Brook is really anxious.

   "Don't worry, your brother is a smart guy, he won't make mistakes like this all the time." Before the time has come, Miles himself must first stabilize himself.

Ricard also saw the motivation for this substitution at Stanford University. He originally wanted to use Mike Taylor to consume Brook Lopez and then use Angel to complete the final blow. Unexpectedly, the opponent is now consuming himself. Up.

   But in the face of such a giant, he could not miss any chance of scoring, so he did not replace An Jie but continued to keep him on the court. The old Larry with white hair is really a scheming guy.

  Without Brooke's support, the giants Stanford University is now 4 points behind the Tornadoes. Robin Lopez performed well on the court, but he still couldn't stop Anjie from scoring. But it was not easy to fight Robin. It was finally time to use the rotation lineup. Looking at An Jie's sweating and undulating chest, Larry knew that An Jie had been almost consumed by Robin.

   "Brook, give me all your strength to vent!" Larry Miles waved his hand and finally released the hungry beast.

   "An Jie, are you okay?" Ricard knew that if An Jie was off the field, the Tornado would be equivalent to handing over the penalty area to the opponent.

   "I can still play, let me play with the second team." It is impossible for Anjie to back down. There is no easy game to play in March Madness.

"Coach Ricard replaced four starting players~www.NovelMTL.com~ Only Anjie remained on the court! Coach Larry Miles from Stanford University finally brought Brook Lopez up. The fans are excited again, and we may have to feast our eyes on the next game!"

   "Don't blame me for failing to defeat the Chinese." Brook Lopez moved his muscles and bones, and he was already uncomfortable enough off the court.

   Anjie took a few deep breaths and calmed down his breathing rate a bit. He has not forgotten the scene when he played against Brook Lopez in the previous few minutes. Now this guy has a higher desire to attack than just before, and he has to do his best.

   Sure enough, Brook Lopez, who was after the pick and roll to his teammate, went straight to the basket. His first task was to score!

   Anjie chased after him, not daring to give Brook a little more room. Seeing the opposing point guard pass the ball into the penalty area, An Jie's nerves all tense.

   The pass was a bit off, An Jie reached out and prepared to destroy the pass directly. He just stretched out his arm, only to find that Brooke also stretched out his hand and got entangled with himself. An Jie's physical strength has declined significantly, but Brooke is full of physical strength at this time. He pressed An Jie's arm with his strength advantage, and he just received the ball. Anjie staggered by Brooke and lost his defensive position.

   hit the ground, hold both hands for a long time, jump with both feet, hang the frame vigorously. Brook Lopez used all his strength to tear the basket. A lightning-fast attack, a shocking dunk, and a silent declaration of war.

   An Jie moved his aching arm, and he tightened his teeth. This opponent is really under pressure~www.NovelMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.NovelMTL.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
