Chapter 17 Trash Talk

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.

After Holmes successfully jumped the ball, Lucas began to organize the offense.

Although Old Kenny was very confident in Lin Yu and Tony, the Longhorns were the defending champions after all, so he was still a little worried at this time.

Needless to say, Coach Zhang is now staring at Lin Yu with a serious expression, fearing that Lin Yu will fail in this game.

Lucas held the ball at the top of the arc and changed direction continuously trying to break through Johnson Aubrey's defense.

As T.J. Ford's successor, although Johnson Aubrey will not enter the NBA in the future, his defense is at least at the NCAA average level.

Lucas couldn't get rid of Johnson Aubrey's defense despite changing directions continuously.

Lucas finally chose to pass the ball. After Tony received the ball, Roy Ivy stepped forward to defend Tony.

As a player who will be able to play in the NBA for ten seasons in the future, Roy Ivey does have his strengths.

Tony’s biggest technical problem is that he has no shooting!
Tony's basic playing style now is to break through and rush to the basket.

Techniques such as mid-range quick stops, fadeaway jump shots, and post-up singles basically have little to do with Tony.

bump!
Tony tried to break through Roy Ivy, but failed.

At this time, the Longhorns' small forward Adelaide Uriah also double-teamed him.

Adelaide Uriah is a typical white small forward with an excellent three-point shot. Although his physical fitness is average, he has a good basketball IQ and good defensive awareness.

He knew that Joey Graham also had no shooting ability, so he decisively double-teamed Tony.

Tony was facing double-teaming and his offense was stagnant.

Another problem for Tony as a defender is that his passing ability is not very good.

Even during Tony's most glorious period in his career with the Grizzlies, he only averaged 1.7 assists per game.

Facing double-teaming, Tony couldn't break through, and his shots were forced. In addition, he was not good at passing the ball, which seemed to create a dilemma for him.

After hesitating for a moment, Tony chose to pass the ball to Joey Graham on the wing.

good chance!
Roy Ivy had long guessed that Tony might pass the ball, and now even if Tony passed the ball it wouldn't work.

Snapped!
Roy Ivy made a successful steal!

"Nice steal! The Longhorns inflicted a heavy loss on the Cowboys right from the start, and Roy Ivy launched a fast break!"

Smith also didn't expect the Cowboys to make mistakes right at the start.

Old Kenny on the sidelines saw Tony make a mistake and get intercepted, and his face instantly turned dark.

Damn it.
Before the game started, we said we would deal with Roy Ivy, but this is the result?
Seeing the Longhorns start a fast break, Old Kenny stood up and yelled to the Cowboys: "Get back on defense! Get back on defense quickly! Don't let the Longhorns succeed in their fast break!"

late!

Roy Ivy was not deaf, so he could naturally hear what old Kenny said.

But at this time he had already dribbled to the three-point line. Who on the Cowboys could provide timely defense?

Roy Ivy glanced at the scouts sitting in the front row with the corner of his eye, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although he did not do the same as Tucker, who told the media clearly before the game started that he wanted to step on Lin Yu.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have such thoughts!
Who doesn’t want to get a higher draft pick and a bigger contract?

Roy Ivy wants it too!
"I'll steal Tony Allen's spot at the end of the first round, and then lead my team to defeat Lin Yu. My ranking will go up by at least five spots, right? No, it's even possible that I'll go up by ten spots!"

Roy Ivey was already imagining that after he landed in the NBA, he would be able to call the shots, sign a top-paying contract, and marry a beautiful female star. Lin Yu: That's too bad! It's time to wake up from the dream.

"Roy Ivy breaks into the free throw line! Lin Yu is very fast, like a flash of lightning! Can he block Roy Ivy!?"

Smith was also a little surprised by Lin Yu's speed at this time.

Roy Evie had not yet noticed Lin Yu who was chasing him.

He stepped into the free throw line, jumped on one foot, raised the basketball high, and shook his wrist slightly.

He was about to put the basketball into the basket and score his first point of the game.

The basketball thrown by Roy Ivy flew into the air, and then...
It suddenly disappeared.

Roy Ivy waited for a long time but didn't see the basketball go into the net. He was confused, and then he heard cheers from all over the place.

After landing, Roy Ivy turned around and found that the basketball had fallen into Lin Yu's hands. !
what happened???

Before Roy Evy could figure out the situation, Lin Yu had already started counterattacking with the ball.

He dribbled the ball quickly across half court and headed straight for the Longhorns' penalty area. The Longhorns' center, Swinburne Jerry, was a typical blue-collar center with a lot of weight but slow speed.

At this time, it was impossible to keep up with Lin Yu's speed. As for PJ Tucker
If he could keep up with Lin Yu's speed, would he still be a second-round pick?
Bang!

Lin Yu made a dunk to help the Cowboys score the first goal of the game.

Roy Ivy looked at Lin Yu who had completed the dunk and was still a little confused, not knowing what had just happened.

At this moment, the big screen on the scene began to replay the scene just now, and Roy Ivy finally realized what he had been through.

It turned out that after he successfully stole the ball, he wanted to make a fast break, and Lin Yu used his super physical talent to start chasing and defending Roy Ivy.

Just as Roy Ivy jumped for the layup, Lin Yu also jumped up almost at the same time and covered Roy Ivy from behind.

Then, the most exciting scene came!
Lin Yu used his height and arm span to grab the basketball that Roy Ivy threw into the air!

Roy Ivy looked at the big screen in disbelief.

As the star player of the Longhorns, Roy Ivey never dreamed that one day he would be blocked in the air!

The cheers at the scene were getting louder and louder at this moment!
Many fans excitedly shouted Lin Yu's name!
Barkley, who was commentating on the scene, also began to praise Lin Yu's performance.

"It's so exciting! I didn't expect such a wonderful shot in mid-air could happen in the first round!"

"Lin Yu is playing basketball as if he were flying in the sky! The title of 10cm tall flying pig is very suitable for Lin Yu!"

Old Kenny also cheered for Lin Yu's performance at this time.

"Well done! Lin, just play like this and defeat the Longhorns!"

Coach Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He was the one who was most afraid of the Cowboys losing, but then his heart rose to his throat again.

Because PJ Tucker asked for the ball!
"This is a player who can limit Carmelo Anthony. Will Lin Yu suffer a loss against him?"

Coach Zhang began to worry about Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at Tucker who was holding the ball and took a step back.

"You're welcome. You can vote as much as you want. Just think of it as me letting you go."

Tucker's first reaction after hearing Lin Yu's trash talk.

I need you to let! ?
