Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 53 The Finals Begin

When Woody said this, his voice was very loud, and LeBron James was interviewed not far away and heard his words.

His first reaction was emotion, as Woody said to make him kiss the trophy again.

He immediately felt warm in his heart, and felt a little guilty for allowing the team to step on Woody.

His mother, Gloria, was also full of joy when she heard this: Giegie is so nice, and even said that she would help my son win the championship, touched!I have nothing to repay, just...

There was also a lot of cheers from the auditorium next to Woody.

Although the final venue was a neutral venue, St. Mary's High School spontaneously organized a group of students to come to the scene to cheer for the home team.

Woody's words are very inspiring!
It's just that the reporters have different expressions.

They heard Woody's implication.

The idea of ​​Woody's remark is actually very simple.

Since some public opinions say that LeBron James sacrificed for him, then he can follow the train of thought of these public opinions.

LeBron James did sacrifice.

But St. Mary's High School has indeed become better. They only won the runner-up last year and completed the "skip" in the new season. Now they still have the opportunity to compete for the state championship of the Ohio Division I High School League!
Does that mean...

Now on the field, more often than not, it is to attract defensive firepower, and LeBron James, who restrains the defensive formation, is more suitable to support him?

A reporter who has a good relationship with the Goodman brothers, the head of the LeBron James team, told the two of Woody's words.The expressions of the two of them changed drastically, and they immediately took out their mobile phones and rushed to contact the media.

Woody's words, isn't it changing to say that LeBron James is the second master?

If it was "dead" by the hammer, it would be fine!
No, they must act immediately to curb the momentum of public opinion that may diverge.

In their view, this is the move of the team behind Woody!
Only this time, Woody's move was too sudden and too fast. Many reporters were witnesses. When Goodman contacted the media, they were already preparing to report Woody's words.

While public opinion was brewing, the warm-ups on both sides ended and the game officially began.

The opponent of St. Mary's High School is last season's "defending champion" Dracula High School.

St. Mary's played against them in the "big district game" in February, a game St. Mary's had a hard time winning.

Dracula High School does not have "All-American star high school students", but every player is a "veteran" senior in high school, and the entire team has a very team style and solid basic skills.

Everyone can pass the ball, everyone can shoot, and because they have already played on such a stage and won the championship, they are also very calm in their mentality, and everyone can grasp good scoring opportunities.

Coupled with the defensive tactics that were extremely targeted at LeBron James' breakthrough and passing, St. Mary's High School only won by 8 points in the first encounter.It was the fewest games they won since entering the Ohio Division I high school league.

It is also difficult to win. The media who carefully analyzed the finals before the game believed that it is really hard to say who will win the state championship this time!

However, this is the prediction of the media before the game...

When the game started, the media found out that there is a reason why LeBron James is currently ranked as the "No. [-] ESPN National High School Student" and Woody is currently ranked as the top two "National High School Students in the United States".

In the last game, LeBron James, who made the opponent's team defense tied up, forced the ball into the first round. Like a fully accelerated train, he rushed straight into the opposite penalty area.

"Bah!"

The iconic "Tomahawk dunk" bombards the basket.

As soon as it came up, it blew up the audience, and the atmosphere suddenly turned to the side of St. Mary's High School.

Dracula High School was not in a hurry. The first position dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without haste. After the second position cooperated with the third position, the fourth position went around to the wing to catch the ball and it was a "kite turn" shot.

Woody was impressed with this player because his twist was really exaggerated.

The ball hit the basket and made a "bang" sound, and it missed!
But before Dracula's No. [-] reaction, there was a loud "snap" above his head, and Woody, who jumped high with the ball in his hand, landed and went straight for a fast break.

Dracula's fifth position the whole time: Huh?What "kneads" past?

LeBron James was almost down before Woody got the ball down.

He has also learned to be smart now, since I ask you for the ball at the basket and you don't give it to me, then I will just go down and walk in front of everyone, so you shouldn't pass the ball to me, right?

Woody...

Or not!

Um, no, I can't say that, it's not that he didn't want to give it, and it's not that he didn't notice, but...

His passing ability really does not support him sending such a football-style quarterback long pass!
Moreover, Dracula High School obviously studied LeBron James's positioning very thoroughly. During the return defense, two people stuck to LeBron James until he ran past the basket before turning back to defend.

This time the object of their double-teaming became Woody.

But when Woody rushed beyond the three-point line, he turned his head and threw the ball to Stephen Curry who followed up on the wing.

Then he passed between the two with his bare hands.

Before the two men had any reaction, Woody jumped high, Stephen Curry showed the tacit understanding with Woody, got the ball and it was a lob.

"Bah!"

"Empty irrigation box"!
After LeBron James checked the quality of the opponent's basket, Woody kept up with the rhythm and put forward a quality inspection of the basket again.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely high.

St. Mary's High School also further widened the point difference to 8-1.
During this period, Dracula High School only scored 1 point with free throws.It can be seen that even the "old men" have their emotions affected by the momentum of St. Mary's High School.

Because it was their core No. 80 who caused the free throws, the guy who usually made more than 2% of his free throws made only 1 of [-] free throws this time.

But the effect of this timeout call is still obvious. They scored in time in the first round, rewriting the score to 3-8.
Then on the defensive end, their changes are a bit desperate.

They began to shrink the defensive formation, sticking to the basket area.

The reason for this is that both LeBron James and Woody are good at scoring points at the basket, but restricting one of them by double-teaming alone will inevitably make the other go berserk. This has been proved in so many games in the past.

So Dracula's coach chose "regional pseudo-zone defense" to concentrate all defensive forces on the basket.

If there were only Woody and LeBron James in St. Mary's High School, maybe they could really entangle them for a while, even if it was Woody, his mid-range was not just coming.

But the outside line of St. Mary's High School still has a "immature spear"...

So empty, it's not slapping him in the face of Stephen Curry, it's kicking Stephen Curry's dad's ass!
It's been so long since the new season started, there's no one who doesn't know that Stephen Curry's father is Dell Curry, right?
Given such a big stage for "Son of the Marksman", can he perform well?

Curry then punished Dracula's defensive formation with two three-pointers and one two-pointer with 8 points in a single quarter.

Seeing St. Mary's High School's "two blossoms" inside and outside, the head coach of Dracula High School knew that there was a high probability that the game tonight would be gone...

He didn't hesitate...

Anyway, it is a loss, and the loss must have a bright spot, so that people can remember this team!

and so……

Just call him LeBron James, right?
We can't live, and you can't think about it either!

　The first update this morning, ask for tickets! ! !
