Chapter 28 Assistant Coach
"Don't you say something?" Black poked coach Thompson. Lu Qiujian's behavior seemed to have infringed on the authority of the head coach. As an assistant coach, Black felt responsible to remind him.
"It's great!" Coach Thompson didn't notice the strangeness in Black's tone. "In just twenty minutes of observation, the technical flaws of the five main players of the Broncos were summarized. I know that monsters often gave birth to Princeton, but I have never seen anyone combine their professional knowledge with basketball! In the second half, we will see if his data can bring changes to the game!"
With his words, he was full of expectations for Lu Qiujian. Black felt sad. He had been with Coach Thompson for several years. He worked hard for the basketball team to get up early and go to bed late every day, but he had never seen him praise him. Is this the difference between a mortal and a genius?
Shortly after the second half, Anthony received a basketball from Robbie again at a low post. In the first half, he and Patrice almost exploded. On the offensive end, Patrice would always be shaken by his footwork, and on the defensive end, he could not resist Patrice's back-on attack.
He swung to the left for a moment, then turned to the right with the ball. Haha, that fool would always be shaken away by his realistic fake moves. This time I must buckle one on his head! Anthony thought happily.
What! Why is this fool still standing at the basket? When he turned around, he saw Patrice who was still standing in front of him, but he had no time to make moves now.
With a snap, Patrice slapped him over the basketball above his head and slapped him away. Anthony got the first big hat in this game. Ed quickly took the basketball and pushed forward.
When the Broncos halftime arrived, Patrice squeezed Anthony behind him and raised his hand and shouted, "Ed, let me hit him!"
Ed made a fake shooting move to shake Robbie away and hanged the ball to Patrice. Anthony was so angry that he just got hit by a big hat. When he saw him catch the ball, he started to whisper, "Idiot, come on, be one-on-one with me like a man! I can beat you so much that you can't even recognize your mother!"
"Do you want me to buckle one on your head?" Patrice leaned back, squeezed Anthony away, and then turned around and was about to shoot.
"Don't think about it!" Anthony jumped up with a loud shout, raised his right hand and wanted to go to the basketball cover in Patrice's hand; hey, why is he still on the ground? Anthony still wanted to stay in the sky for a while, and waited for Patrice to jump to make up for this block, but gravity ruthlessly rejected his proposal.
When he slowly fell, Patrice soared into the air like a rocket. Then there was a loud clang. Anthony quickly shrank his head to avoid Patrice's impact. Then he found Patrice's legs hanging on his shoulders at this time.
After being detained by someone, Anthony's face was in tears and was paralyzed. He was going to play the Wujiao Ball again tonight! Hey, why should I say again?
By the end of the game, Anthony hated the word "Why" in his mind. In the subsequent games, Patrice contributed another wonderful one-stop dunk after blocking. According to the standards, this ball will undoubtedly be the best five balls at night.
When ESPN viewers saw the Five Balls, they were amused by Anthony's confused expression twice in a row. Anthony became famous in one battle, but this fame probably wouldn't be what he wanted.
"Ha! You didn't see Anthony's expression at that time!" In the locker room, Patrice excitedly grabbed Lu Qiujian and kept saying, "He must be very puzzled why I happened to be waiting for him on the right side. I blocked him three times in a row, and I shook him away twice! He must now have doubts about his basketball talent!"
"And Robbie, I let him shoot several three-pointers in the second half, but he didn't hit a single shot!" Ed also swept away the haze of the previous few games, and talked about how he defended Robbie's heroic deeds!
Then Gaderson, Lei, Will and others surrounded Lu Qiujian, and he became the biggest contributor to the victory of this game.
The Princeton Tigers will go to Oklahoma to fight the Oklahoma Earners in the next game. This is a strong team in the NCAA. They have entered the knockout stage for many years. In the future, they will also train star players like No. 1 pick Griffin.
"Gardson, Patrice, Ray, Will, Ed, you five starters!" Coach Thompson slightly adjusted the lineup, "Lu, pay attention to observation and give your opinions at any time!"
"Okay!" Lu Qiujian depressedly closed a monograph about group theory and began to observe the five starters on the opposite side. Soon the player named Taki Gray caught his attention. His movements were very flexible, explosive, fast, and good at using his body. He had already grabbed three rebounds in just a few minutes of the game.
Under his leadership, the Princeton Tigers quickly collapsed. Coach Thompson looked at Lu Qiujian, "What are you good ideas?"
It's fine to statistics, why do you ask me tactical questions? You are the one who gets the salary! Lu Qiujian complained and said his observation results, "The core of the Eargains is Taki Gray. Only by limiting his performance can we find opportunities. It can be seen that he chooses to break through or play back every time he attacks. Obviously, he lacks shooting skills, and the movements during defense are a bit too large, so we can let him shoot during defense, and break in and commit fouls when attacking! As for the other five people..."
While nodding while listening to Lu Qiujian's analysis, Thompson wrote and painted on the tactical board, and immediately called a pause and arranged Lu Qiujian's ideas.
Soon Taki Gray made two consecutive defensive fouls, and the opponent's coach quickly replaced him; however, even the substitute was not something that Princeton's boys could withstand. Although Lu Qiujian's analysis and guidance were available, the Tigers still lost the opportunity in the last minute and lost by a five-point gap.
"The Earser team entered the final quarterfinals last year!" On the bus back, they were not only sorry for the failure, but also excited. "We only lost five points now! And Lu has not played yet! Maybe we have a chance to enter the semifinals this year!"
"Come on, their main players of the previous year have already left. Now there are a group of rookies on the field, which is completely different from last year's team!" Thompson's words made them calm down a little.
After coaxing these young men, Thompson turned around and asked softly, "Lu, do you want to be my assistant coach?"
Chapter completed!
