Chapter 57: Kaleidoscope of Offensive, Anthony
Westbrook was stunned.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!
Westbrook has never seen anyone like this!
I accelerated but couldn't shake him off!?
How is that possible!
Westbrook, who didn't believe in evil, jumped directly at this moment.
He wanted to dunk directly against Sashiro's defense!
But.
How can this matter be so simple?
Sashiro had already predicted Westbrook's move!!
Sashiro also jumped up immediately and opened his right hand to block the shot.
Westbrook, who was originally calm, was instantly stunned when he saw Sashiro's defense.
How did he...
So high?!
However, Westbrook hadn't thought it through yet.
Next second.
An almost abnormal force came directly from his hands.
There was a loud "bang!"
Westbrook's layup was ruthlessly blocked by Sashiro!
Blocked shot!!!
All the audience were shocked.
This is too strong!!
When the Thunder saw this sudden change, they were slightly stunned and wanted to step forward to grab the ball.
But how could their speed compare to Sashiro, who was firing on all cylinders at this moment?
Sashiro stole the ball in an instant and made a gorgeous turn to dribble past one player.
Immediately following.
A dragon strikes back!
Sashiro used his lightning speed to tear through the Thunder's defense in an instant!!
Bang!!
Another dunk.
Score!!
At this moment, the audience was completely excited!!
"Oh my god!!"
"That's awesome!!"
"niubi! Sashiro niubi!!"
"What is one against five? This is f*****g one against five!!"
"Defend yourself, grab the ball yourself, attack yourself, this is a one-man showdown!!"
"Sashiro's defense is so good!? It's too strong!"
"Isn't this much better than Yingge's defense?"
"That's right!! If Sashiro had come to defend in the morning, the score might have been ten points behind by now!!"
"I never expected... Is this guy really a rookie!?"
This way.
After seeing this ball.
The Thunder coach's face changed drastically.
At this time, Sashiro's performance was completely beyond his understanding of a rookie.
He was originally calm, but at this moment he immediately signaled to the referee on the sidelines.
"pause!!"
"drop...!"
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The rhythm of the entire game suddenly came to a standstill.
Westbrook spread his hands helplessly.
It seemed as if he didn't understand why the coach called a timeout at this time.
The ball just returned to their side, and Westbrook was just about to rush in to take revenge!!
However, the coach chose to call a timeout at this time.
Sashiro originally wanted to wait for Westbrook to come over and block him again.
However, at the moment when the game was paused, a sound indicating that the trial card had expired suddenly came from his system.
Uh... okay, forget it.
You escaped a disaster!
On this side, as he walked down, Sashiro suddenly saw Yingge, who was standing aside with her head down, as if trying to avoid his gaze.
Sashiro stopped him immediately:
" Hey!!"
Ingram was startled, turned around, and said with an awkward smile:
"Ah...what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Sashiro waved his hand and said, "Am I doing okay in defense?"
...
Ingram's face turned green when he heard this.
good?
Is this name Mia ok?
If you push harder, you'll almost nail him to the ground!!
This is a blood cap!!!
You call this okay!?
You are teasing me on purpose!!
But after Ingram thought about the harsh words he had just said, you didn't want to talk any more, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
So he smiled awkwardly and said:
"Um...very good, very good. Um...I'm going to go drink some water..."
After hearing this, Sashiro suddenly remembered that, yes, he hadn't drunk any water yet!
This pause was called at a timely moment, as I was a little thirsty.
rest!
So Sashiro went straight to the bench... next to the water dispenser.
The movements are very skillful and natural!
And the other side.
Back on the court, Westbrook asked the coach:
Why did he do that?
But the coach's answer was also very simple. He just said lightly:
"Don't go on, you're using up your energy too quickly. If you keep going like this, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted by the end of the second quarter!"
"What we have to do now is to defend against Sashiro's attack and complete the counterattack at the lowest cost."
"If you continue to play one-on-one, I can guarantee that... the gap between our two teams will only get bigger and bigger."
...
Will the gap get bigger? ?
What's the meaning?
Does the coach think Westbrook can't beat a rookie who just entered the league!?
Everyone on the team couldn't believe it.
But.
The coach's meaning was obvious.
Although what the coach said was not what Westbrook liked to hear.
After all, who wants to be thought of as incompetent by their coach?
But.
At this time, Westbrook, who is always arrogant, said nothing.
Because he knew deep in his heart that this matter was indeed reasonable.
In fact, when he was blocked by Sashiro just now, he also knew there was a problem.
I want to break through Sashiro's defense... it's too difficult!!!
Sashiro's athleticism, reaction ability, and even his sense of timing are all top-notch Westbrook has ever seen!
This is by no means to say that it can be compensated by passion alone.
At this point, Westbrook, who had calmed down, also felt that this problem could not be ignored.
So he nodded and said to the coach:
"Okay, then everything is up to you."
Seeing that Westbrook still puts the team first, I feel very satisfied.
This is the awareness and responsibility that a core member of a team should have!
So the coach picked up the tactical board and rearranged it:
"Before the game, I really didn't expect that this rookie's physical fitness would be so outstanding. However, for a player who relies on his physical fitness to play, we have to rely on technology to crush him!"
"When we get back on the court, Anthony, I need you to score as many points as possible with your low-post scoring skills!!"
"And Westbrook, you and George should try your best to create space for him to shoot!"
The three giants understood what he meant and nodded at the same time.
After the tactics were arranged, the timeout ended and the players returned to the court.
After seeing this scene, the commentator said in the commentary booth:
"I originally thought that the Lakers would call the first timeout of the game, but I didn't expect that the Thunder would call the first timeout."
"It seems that the Thunder still takes this game very seriously! Even if it is against the Lakers who did not perform well last season."
"This incident also surprised me, but the Lakers' scoring efficiency in this game has indeed improved a lot compared to last season!!"
"It seems very clear that the Lakers made the right choice regarding Sashiro's stay or departure!!"
When he said this, another commentator frowned and asked with some doubt:
"Isn't it a bit too early to say this now? After all, this is just a game!"
"You also said that this is just one game! And even in this first game, Sashiro has already shown such strength!! He deserves the title of No. 1!!"
At this moment he thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
I have never seen a rookie take on the offensive responsibility alone in the first quarter of his first game in his rookie season.
And scored 20 points!!!
Even if we look at history, there is no player like him!!
But Sashiro did it with ease!
And here, when the Thunder players returned to the court.
The audience and commentators present all noticed that the current Thunder team was different from before.
That is...
The player facing Sashiro...turned out to be Carmelo Anthony!!
