Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 35 "Double Stars" Shines on St. Mary!
The reporter's voice was so loud that Woody on the field could hear it.

He almost turned around and shouted:
Yes, this is our strongest form.

It's just that Stephen Curry's form requires the help of other teammates to fully demonstrate his running ability.But in the first half, Woody partnered with the "Akron Three Brothers". It is impossible to expect these three people to obediently cover for Stephen Curry.

So Woody played a "pick and roll" with Stephen Curry in the first half.

However, the "pick-and-roll" tactic has high requirements for personal ball-holding ability and ball-distributing ability on the outside. Curry, who is not so eye-catching in these two aspects, was quickly "arrested" by the opposing coach.

Now that the "Akron Brothers" have been replaced with three guys who are willing to "pick and roll" Stephen Curry, he doesn't have to handle the ball.

The "showdown" is not only Woody, but also Stephen Curry.

He took out the "off-the-ball running" style of play that he is better at.

In addition, the three players who came off the bench not only have a better tacit understanding with Woody and Stephen Curry, they can help Woody to open up and help Stephen Curry get rid of defenders, and their enthusiasm should also be better.

In the first round, after Woody completed the "gliding dunk", they took Woody as the core and successfully resisted Starkwell's first attack in the second half on the defensive end.

This round, after Stephen Curry completed a three-pointer, they returned to defense in time, closely following their respective defenders.

Continuously passing the ball, but not finding the right time to make a shot, Starkwell tacitly gave the ball to Outlaw and asked him to execute the "ball planet".

Woody stood up quickly when Outlaw got the ball, and stretched out a hand to cover Outlaw's face, interfering with his shooting sight. ——After another month of training, now Woody's posture is obviously much more standard when defending the perimeter.

Outlaw started with the "three-threat posture". Seeing that he didn't deceive Woody, he simply played more resolutely. After taking a step forward, he pulled up and shot.

As far as Woody's physical fitness is concerned, it is impossible to break through, and it is impossible to break through in a lifetime, so he only uses jump shots to maintain his life like this!
After Woody reached out to interfere, he rushed towards the basket immediately.

The ball arrives.

"Dangdang!"

Outlaw's determined shot misses.

The shot space mainly given by Woody is too small.

This ball is too difficult!

Woody glanced at the direction where the ball bounced off, quickly made a judgment, and jumped up in a "moon-like" manner, successfully protecting the rebound.As soon as his back foot landed, he rushed towards Starkwell's defense zone with the ball non-stop.

"Quick back to defense, quick back to defense!"

The little old man screamed anxiously, spit flying everywhere, but he could only watch Woody who was holding the ball take the lead, and listened to the louder and louder cheers at the scene, until...

"Bah!"

Woody, who rushed to the front, dunked the dunk with both hands, and the cheers of the audience burst out like a torrent, filling the entire arena at once.

At the same time, the media reporters on the sidelines quickly pressed the camera one by one to record this explosive moment.

The scouts in the audience began to write again.

Especially among the newcomers.

Some people sneered at the headlines in the Ohio State newspaper, and came to watch this friendly match live with the intention of watching the excitement.

Woody's performance in the first half has blinded their eyes.

just now……

Watching Woody first defend Outlaw's singles on the wing, then quickly rush to the basket to protect the rebound, and then he actually launched a fast break with the ball, and the audience completed dunks in a "one-stop" manner.

It perfectly interprets what is called "true from one dozen to five"!
They were even more shocked, their eyeballs almost fell out!
What happened on the court this round was really shocking!
It's not that they haven't seen such a talented and talented high school. The "No. 01 pick" Kwame Brown in [-] actually played like this at that time.

But this complexion...

They have never seen such a game!
It's too exaggerated!

Now there is "one hit five in the audience"!
Even the little old man opposite was stunned.

He knew that there was a "monster" in St. Mary's High School. He heard that the "monster" had rested before the game. He also wanted to say that this friendly match was of no quality. Starkville High School would definitely win, but he didn't expect that there were two "monsters" in St. Mary's High School!

This one was no less scary than the other one.

Of course he knew that Woody had just made his debut, and many teams didn't have much research on him, and LeBron James had played in high school leagues for three years, and he had used all kinds of targets that should be thought of, but he was stunned. All these targets were cracked, and he played an unparalleled performance on the field, and his quality must be higher!
but……

Who cares about these!
Look at the excited fans on the sidelines!

Woody's court appeal is definitely at the level of LeBron James!

After the goal was scored, St. Mary's scored from a 1-point halftime deficit to a 6-point lead in less than 3 minutes.

The "Akron Brothers" on the bench looked as ugly as they could be!

With them trailing by 1 point at halftime, without them leading by less than 3 points in 6 minutes...

Should the comparison be so obvious?

Romeo took a peek at Drew on the sidelines, but happened to meet the thoughtful gaze of the other party looking in their direction, which made him startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look towards the field, and his whole body sat down involuntarily.

He had to admit that at this moment, he was full of panic for Drew.

It's the panic of being caught alive when I was a child stealing money from my neighbor's house!

This is the first time Drew has made him feel this way.

He was afraid that Drew would think that the three of them were not important anymore, but they could actually be replaced...

On the court, St. Mary's High School, which played a wave of "7-0" scoring tide, became even more aggressive, while Starkville High School was getting more and more difficult.

The main thing is that this time the ball handler was replaced by Woody. He is superior in all aspects of physical fitness and has the ability to shoot the ball in a timely manner, so that they dare not double-team at will. In that case, Stephen Curry's three-pointer will definitely make them pay.

And Starkville High School can't come up with a higher-level defensive strategy.

One is that the head coach does not have that good coaching ability; the other is that a group of high school students, it is impossible to expect them to have such a good team defensive coordination ability.

In this way, Woody and Stephen Curry played more and more vigorously, and by the way, they also drove the performance of several other members of the team. In the end, they scored 24 points in the second half, beat Starkville by 23 points, and defended this home victory.

Woody scored 38 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists in the "super luxury data", which is more shining than the previous game.

Stephen Curry's performance was not so explosive, but he also scored 21 points, scored 6 three-pointers, and had 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Don't forget, he is only a freshman, and this is his first game in high school.

Therefore, even though his stats were a notch lower than Woody's, the reporters on the sidelines couldn't help but describe St. Mary's High School in this game as "double stars shining".

　Brothers, wake up first watch.
