Chapter 459: The Curse
When facing strong offensive players, the coach will instruct the defender to squeeze in to cover when defending; when facing players with strong breakthrough ability, the coach will instruct the players to learn to block positions when defending; when facing players with excellent rebounding ability, the coach will instruct the players to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the place...
This afternoon, head coach Arkez really said a lot, so much that even Shirasaki Shogo could hardly remember it.
Of course, such professional video analysis as head coach Arkez has benefited Shirasaki Shogo a lot.
Until the players dispersed, the multifunctional media hall was in a mess, leaving only a few associate coaches and staff who volunteered to stay for cleaning.
Head coach Arquez sat at the back, watching the repeated video, feeling a little distracted.
"Uncle, let's go back. There will be a competition tomorrow morning. You should have a break early!!"
"Via, you said, will we win at Lawrence Woodmere Middle School tomorrow?"
"Uncle, we will definitely win the game!!"
Associate coach Via can understand how helpless and unconfident the head coach Arquez is at this moment.
It has been many years since head coach Arquez led Lawrence Woodmere Middle School has never beaten Bronxville High School once.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bronxville High School is the curse of everyone in the Lawrence Woodmere High School basketball team.
Assistant coach Via looked at Uncle Arquez who was a little old and said comfortably.
"Uncle, we have one more Shirasaki Shogo this year, and we have hope!!"
"Yogo Haizaki...Yogo Haizaki...Yogo Haizaki..."
The words of deputy coach Via evoked some memories of head coach Arquez. As the head coach Arquez muttered one by one, his pupils gradually shone brighter and brighter.
The next day, match day.
Shirasaki Shogo was woken up by his roommate Peter Boer. Peter Boer, who had just joined the basketball department for a few days, had already regarded the basketball department as his home.
Peter Pole is full of motivation and expectation for the basketball team's cursed opponent today.
Therefore, whether it was Shirasaki Shogo or Lovesch, he was woken up by Peter Pole early in the morning.
"Bol, since you joined the basketball team, you have stopped sleeping in. Can you tell me why this is?"
"Training, the associate coach said I needed a lot of basic training, so I vacated the morning time to train."
"God! Boer's change made me feel lazy."
The person who spoke was Lovesch, who was having breakfast in the living room. He was the first to be woken up by Peter Pohl, and he was really unaccustomed to it.
At 9:30, when Shirasaki Yoshigo appeared in the basketball hall, the standard basketball hall at Lawrence Woodmere Middle School was already overcrowded.
On the fence around the audience seats, many signs made by the audience fans themselves were hung.
"Break the curse!!"
“Promote to the finals!!”
“Get the championship!!”
"Lawrence Woodmere, come on!!"
“…”
This time, there were more spectators watching the game than the last time, and the hardcore fans also had greater expectations.
Soon, Shirasaki Sugo completed the stretching and warm-up exercise. After the coach and the players supported each other's shoulders and supported each other, Shirasaki Sugo followed his teammates to the basketball court.
"Carter, Xiangwu, come on!!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
The first one to speak was Davidson. This game was very important. It was the game where Lawrence Woodmere Middle School broke the spell, and it was also the game where Davidson, Carter and others broke the cage.
At this moment, the commentary on the radio was full of teasing, constantly explaining the starters on both sides.
Lawrence Woodmere Middle School starter list: No. 4 Carter (captain, power forward), No. 5 Davidson (point guard), No. 6 Shirasaki Yoshigo (small forward), No. 7 Brian (center), No. 13 Stark (shot guard).
Bronxville High School starting list: Toronto No. 4 (captain, power forward), White No. 6 (point guard), Perez No. 8 (small forward), Hall No. 9 (center), Baker No. 12 (shot guard).
The whistle sounded, and it was still Brian who jumped the ball, and his opponent was a black player who was nearly 220cm tall and thin.
"Bang!"
This time, Brian did not grab the basketball, which came to the hands of Bronxville High School point guard No. 6 White.
White held the ball on the 6th, and the pace of the game immediately got faster.
The defender of White is Davidson, but compared with White, Davidson is much slower.
No. 6 White held the ball and had no intention of slowing down. Instead, he increased his speed to the maximum, switched to pull the basketball in his hand, and changed direction in front of his body and passed Davidson.
"Swish!"
After passing Davidson's No. 6 White, he made a small throw without hesitation and basketball entered the net.
Too fast! After No. 6 White passed, he had no intention of passing the ball and scored a layup by himself.
No. 6 White, a special player who swings at point guard and shooting guard, is no longer a traditional point guard, and is an all-around defender.
This goal alone made Katsugo Haizaki narrow his eyes. The ball just now didn't even have time to go up to assist in defense, let alone Carter and Brian, who were slower.
No wonder Lawrence Woodmere Middle School loses in their hands every year for such a strong opponent.
"This guy has become stronger again!!"
"Yes!! Still so fast!"
This is the emotion of Carter and Davidson. They fought with No. 6 White more than once, and were still shocked by No. 6 White's speed.
As if he had thought of something, Davidson turned his head and said to Brian next to him.
"Bryan, that big tall man is not easy, be careful!"
"Shit! I also discovered it. I don't know why a strange giant that I didn't know appeared in Bronxville High School."
At this moment, Bronxville High School seemed to surprise Shirasaki Yoshigo's teammates and couldn't bear it.
Not only are old-fashioned strong opponents, No. 6 White and No. 8 Perez, but also a strange giant No. 9 Hall, who is nearly 220cm tall.
Shirasaki Shogo was also a little scared. High school teams with their strength reaching this level are indeed a bit exaggerated. This is definitely no worse than some college teams, or even more powerful.
Without much thought, Shirasaki Yoshigo started running because Davidson had already taken the ball and started organizing the offense.
"Swoosh!"
Shirasaki Yoshigo took the basketball and pulled it out on the spot with the surprised expression of the player in front of him, and shot the basketball quickly and accurately.
Basketball entered the net, defending No. 8 Perez, who was defending Shirasaki Shogo, his eyes became solemn.
If Lawrence Woodmere Middle School knows Bronxville High School well, Bronxville High School also knows Lawrence Woodmere Middle School well.
These two schools have met many times in recent years and are very clear about each other's strengths.
But now, not only the players at Lawrence Woodmere Middle School are full of fear of No. 9 Giant Hall. The players at Bronxville High School are also full of fear of No. 6 Shirasaki Shogo.
Just based on the goal just now, Perez, who was responsible for defending Sugo Haizaki, had a very serious look in his eyes.
Because Perez discovered on the 8th, he could not keep up with Shirasaki Shogo's speed.
Chapter completed!
