Olivan said: "I don't believe they don't want to win this game, Hayworth. They will definitely adopt some targeted tactics in the game to make up for Little Claude's shortcomings."

"And Claude is just a kid. In a game of this intensity, he can only play for 15 minutes at most. With 30 minutes left, they will definitely chase points like crazy!"

Hayworth nodded, the coach's analysis made sense.

"So we must not relax!"

"Dislocation defense and running without the ball are their magic weapons to win, as well as three-pointers!"

After pondering for a while, Oliver said: "You must defend outside the three-point line. As for the two points... let them score!"

"Ah?"

"What I mean is, he doesn't need to take the defense of two-pointers seriously!" Olivan said: "Just give up the defense of Crowder, this kid is irrelevant."

Everyone nodded.

To be honest, no matter how talented this kid is, he won't be able to perform very well.

The whistle blows and everyone comes on stage.

The players on both sides were in good posture, and the players on the Celtic team were particularly serious.

On the Sonics players' side, they seem a little relaxed.

Several people came on stage and were still chatting and laughing.

When fighting for the ball, Claude stood on the center line with a serious look.

Everyone from the audience to the players was in an uproar.

The opponent is Hayworth, one is 2.08 meters tall and the other is 1.75 meters tall.

From the audience's perspective, Claude only reaches Hayworth's shoulders.

"I am God...why is this child?"

"Does this Sonic team not want to work hard at all?"

"No matter what, this is too much!"

"Come on Claude..."

No one expected that it would be Claude who came up to fight for the ball.

But Claude stood there quietly, ready to jump the ball.

No matter what sounds were heard below, he couldn't hear them at this time. He was fully immersed in the game.

He remembered what An Ran said.

"You will experience everything!"

So at Enron's request, Claude came to jump the ball.

On the opposite side, Olivan looked confused. It was surprising enough to let Claude hit him, but he also asked Claude to jump the ball?

The assistant coach next to him said: "I think the Sonics will give up on this game."

Oliver looked serious, "No, I think Enron just wants to use this method to confuse us and make us think they have given up so that they can defeat us."

The assistant coach immediately cheered up, "It's very possible that he just wants to take things by surprise."

Oliver nodded solemnly, "The more he behaves like this, the less we can let down our guard."

The jump ball started, and it was no surprise that Claude didn't touch the ball at all. When the ball just fell from the highest point, Heimermus moved it to his player's side.

Tabade caught the ball, everyone passed and cooperated, and one-stop attack went to the basket, and the ball returned to Hayworth's hands.

Beautiful slam dunk.

He hit the first ball very well.

Although it was just a ball, Claude already felt the gap between himself and these people.

Not just physically and technically.

In terms of basketball awareness, judgment of positioning, judgment of the ball’s placement, and court vision, I am far behind.

Although he has followed the tactical guidance of Coach Anran Wesson, but his explosive power is far different from these monsters, and he still lags behind.

It is inevitable to feel depressed.

But when Kumar passed by him, he said: "Claude, quickly return to your position. You are an official player and a member of the league. You have no time to be depressed."

Claude immediately cheered up and followed everyone towards the basket.

Igo is holding the ball, while Tom and Kumar are running back and forth without the ball. Inside, Rand is already in position, waiting for the opportunity.

The rand went in and out, hovering near the two-point line...

The scene of the stadium preparation was particularly clear in Claude's mind at this time.

An Ran's positioning for him is to shoot from the 2-point line.

As for the three-point line, Crowder is still underage and not strong enough to control it.

Casting out basically depends on luck.

Under the basket, anyone is taller than him and has no chance to take a shot.

As soon as he takes a shot, there must be a shielding defense above him. With the quality of a professional player, he can block all his shot routes.

Only near the two-point line...

Enron has tested that Crowder's hit rate on fixed shots near the two-point line is 55%. Of course, this is when no one is defending or harassing.

If there are ever-changing situations on the court, it would be good if his shooting percentage could reach 20 points.

It's worth a try just like this, it's better than being at the basket or at the three-point line.

After Igo broke through with the ball, Rand ambush near the two-point line.

Then Kumar and Thompson ran quickly, tearing apart the opponent's defense.

Claude became an unsupervised child, standing alone outside the two-point line.

Egg passed the ball directly towards Claude without hesitation.

Claude caught the ball and instinctively jumped up to shoot...

This is also the training that An Ran conducted specifically for him during this period.

Of course, An Ran thought of this method, and the coach who implemented it was the assistant coach of the team.

An Ran knows how to shoot with a hammer.

He was trained to develop his instincts and shoot when he catches the ball. During this period, Tom even specially trained him several times and explained many essentials to him.

You must know that Thompson is the league's No. 1 off-ball pitcher.

The three-point shooting percentage is terrifying.

Children develop conditioned reflexes very quickly.

In just a few days, Claude has developed conditioned reflexes, although not to the level of a professional player.

But in this situation where the gap is wide open, he still knows how to do it.

The basketball drew a relatively low arc and flew towards the basket.

Lant, Thompson, Hayworth and others were all guarding the basket, waiting to grab rebounds.

In their opinion, Claude Jr.'s shooting posture is not standard, but his accuracy is pretty good.

Sure enough, the basketball bounced when it hit the rim...

Several people have tight calf muscles!

The basketball fell, hit the basket again, and bounced several times.

Lant couldn't help but jump up and tip in.

This time it fell, rolled around twice on the edge of the basket, and then scored.

The whole place was silent.

No one thought that Crowder would be the first to score for the Sonics.

Claude stood aside with his hands spread out!

It’s as if he has no idea what’s going on.

Then the entire stadium erupted into huge cheers, rising like a wave, and then filled into everyone's eardrums.

"That's great, little Claude, well done!"

"This goal is absolutely amazing. You are qualified to become a league player."

"Oh my God, he actually scored. Can you believe it? He actually scored!"

"Haha, Claude, you are great..."

Olivan watched seriously from the coaching bench, thinking in his mind, could it be that the strategy in the first quarter was to focus on Claude?

This... Although this tactic is nonsense, it is not impossible!
Chapter completed!
