Chapter 20 What? My Top Pick Was Beaten?
The audience present were all unhappy when they saw this scene.
"What the f*** are you doing?"
"Why is he shooting again?"
"No way, no way, brother!"
"Don't shoot! Break through, like you did just now!!"
...
In fact, Simmons also wants to break through. He always tries hard to find opportunities and wants to find a successful breakthrough.
But.
Things are far from that simple.
Sashiro just stood in front of him, and he felt a unique sense of oppression.
The feeling is very subtle.
This made every choice of his offense extremely uncomfortable.
He knows his most reliable way to score, which is of course through a layup.
But.
No chance.
He could feel that if he went for a layup, his offensive route would be blocked.
But in terms of shooting.
He has no touch.
This made every attack during the game very uncomfortable for him.
But when facing the substitute player who just came out, he didn't have this feeling at all.
He was confused and conflicted.
And after several consecutive misses.
The other spectators around seemed to have noticed this as well.
"Have you noticed? It seems like every time Sashiro defends him, he seems very conflicted?"
"Yes, yes, I feel the same way!"
"It seems that when Simmons is defended by others, he always decisively chooses to break through."
"That's right, but when it comes to Sashiro, he always looks for opportunities, but he always ends up shooting."
"Could it be... because their defenses are different?"
"It must be like this, otherwise what other explanation is there?"
"So Simmons' previous poor performance was all due to Sashiro's defense?? It had nothing to do with his own touch?"
"Yeah! That's the only explanation."
...
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
What does it feel like to defend an NBA draft pick so that he can't score a single point?
Is this possible?
Possible!
Because the whole thing just happened right in front of them.
It was obvious that Sashiro, who returned to the court, put considerable pressure on Simmons' offense.
At this time, Simmons looked like he wanted to break through many times, but in the end, he chose to shoot.
Even if he really forced a breakthrough, Sashiro would block his attack route, and he would have no chance at all.
At this point, Simmons didn't know what to do.
He holds the ball.
But I feel that all the offensive methods I have learned before are so inadequate at this moment.
He felt that he had no way of attacking the Asian defender in front of him.
And in this moment of hesitation.
Bang!
A crisp sound of stealing the ball came from his own hands.
Then the ball flew backward uncontrollably.
"Sashiro steals it!!"
Simmons saw Sashiro's fast break and immediately chased back.
And just when it reached the basket.
Sashiro made a Rondo-style fake layup and directly shook Simmons off!
Immediately following.
Sashiro used his left foot as the axis, turned around, and scored with a hook shot.
So wonderful!
Louisiana University's ace.
The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NBA draft.
Simmons!
She was completely manipulated by Sashiro!!
Just this one game.
Many people who were originally fans of Simmons have now become fans of Sashiro!
I became a fan right away!!
"I never thought an Asian defender could play such a brilliant game!"
"Although he didn't show his speed, he still scored more than 30 points in this game!!"
"It's terrible! The most terrible thing is his defense. Simmons' offensive efficiency is completely different when he is with him and when he is not!"
"Today really refreshed my worldview. We really shouldn't look at anyone with discrimination!"
"He's too strong, Sashiro is too strong!!"
"Go ahead, keep widening the score!!"
"Beat Simmons quickly!"
"Let us see your wonderful performance!!"
"That's how it's done!"
...
As the audience cheered, Sashiro raised his hand to the referee and requested a timeout.
At this point, everyone looked towards Sashiro.
Don't know what happened.
The coach came forward and asked:
"What happened? Were you injured during this fast break?"
Sashiro shook his head and said:
"No, I'm tired."
...
The whole audience was speechless.
No one knew whether what this guy said was true or not.
Are you really tired, or are you pretending to be tired?
You've taken two breaks, bro!
And you didn't dunk or sprint, and you only played one fast break in the whole court.
Just tired!?
Wolfberry brother Wiggins is stronger than you!!
You...are planning to fight until you are 80 years old?
However, after Sashiro played for 10 minutes, UCLA University once again maintained their lead.
The coach certainly wouldn't ask for anything more from Sashiro, who had already performed so well.
"Okay, okay! You take a rest! Let's be the tool man!"
At this time, the supporting substitute who didn't deserve a name came on the court again.
"Hey, coach, here I come..."
In the next game.
It's hard for viewers to say Sashiro's performance was bad.
But the fighting was intermittent, which made everyone feel that it was not exciting enough.
They want to see Sashiro's full performance!!
It seems to be fought later.
As long as Sashiro is not on the court, the audience will collectively give up!
"f**k, Sashiro is out again, I won't watch it anymore!"
"That's right, it's boring!!"
"Sashiro, take a break and get on the court right away. We haven't seen enough yet!!"
"Yes, hurry up and get on stage!!"
"Ohhhh, Sashiro is ready to go on stage, brothers, pick up the light sticks!!"
"The moon represents my heart!!"
"Love you Sashiro!! Wow!!"
...
It was just a stop-and-go fight.
Sashiro only played for 18 minutes in the final statistics...
This is totally not the performance that a main player should have.
But.
When they saw Sashiro's data.
Indeed, no one thinks that this is not the performance of the main force.
Sashiro scored 39 points, had 6 steals, and grabbed 13 rebounds!!!
It's f*****g outrageous!!
They achieved this kind of stats in just 18 minutes. If they had played for more than 30 minutes...
It's unimaginable!
On the other hand, Simmons played for 40 minutes, scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 steal.
Although this data looks good.
But 90% of his stats were obtained when Sashiro was not on the court!!
and.
His shooting percentage is only a pitiful 20 percent!!
When Sashiro was guarding him, he didn't make a single shot!
In this game, UCLA won the game by one point.
Although.
This point doesn't seem like much.
But you have to know that this is based on the premise that the other team has the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft!!
And the main player of his team only played for 18 points!!
This is enough to be amazing.
After this game, Sashiro's name officially entered the NBA's vision.
Especially the 76ers.
At this time, the top management of their team was enjoying their afternoon tea time.
Then they suddenly heard a piece of news:
Their top scholar... was beaten to a pulp!
