Chapter Fourteen: Head to Head (Part 2)

DeAndrew Jordan felt angry in his heart, but he still forced himself to suppress his impulse. Not only was he fooled in the attack just now, but he also fell to fight. Anyway, it's still a long time, I have time to fight with you!

Anjie knew that the key to affecting the outcome of this game was to control the inside. Only when he opened the situation could his teammates get a chance to break through or shoot. The next game will depend on who can gain control of the penalty area first, DeAndrew Jordan.

Jordan Jr. was not affected by the ball just now, and his performance on the court was still active. With neither weight nor strength, it was obviously very difficult for Anjie to withstand Jordan Jr. to resist the fierce impact. During this attack, Jordan Jr. pushed Anjie away in a few strokes and easily made a layup on the ground under the basket.

No one can defend against all the balls, but Anjie showed a very bad signal in the opponent's attack just now. DeAndrew Jordan's strength is much stronger than Anjie imagined. After Anjie started to practice for himself every day, he has not been at an absolute disadvantage in strength for a long time. However, the confrontation with Jordan just now reminded him of the feeling of being unable to do so when he fought with Morris and Assagin during training.

This time the Tornado team's offense was not left to others to complete. Mike Taylor honestly passed the ball to Anjie, who was still able to get a good position. Anjie's flexible steps made him feel as if he was in the offensive end. He turned around and made a layup with a low hand, and Anjie took the city again. Other players also occasionally performed, but most of the time the ball was still in the hands of these two centers.

The game went on slowly in the exciting hand-to-hand fight between the two big men inside, until the first half was four minutes and twenty-three seconds before Ricard called a timeout. At this moment, they tied with Texas Agricultural Machinery University and both got points.

"Others have to find ways to support Anger! Don't be fooled by the pre-match media hype! This is the game between Iowa State University Tornados against the Farmers of Texas Agricultural University, not the game between Anger and DeAndrew Jordan! You have said that if you work hard, you all have to work hard! Don't forget how we won the previous game, our integrity! I want to see your integrity!" Ricard's voice was almost hoarse, but in this noisy environment, to make sure that his players can hear what they are saying, he has to maintain this volume and speak.

After Ricard finished speaking, Divac, who was sitting on the bench, stood up and walked towards Angel.

"It's very difficult to fight." Divac asked.

"Yes, his physical fitness is much better than I thought. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, it is very difficult to limit him." An Jie told the truth to his coach.

"You are using your weaknesses to compare with other people's strengths, of course it's hard to do. Don't forget that poor basketball skills are Jordan's biggest shortcoming. Grasp the opponent's shortcomings and you can beat him. I also remind you that if you don't want to get entangled with him, the best way is to let him go." At this point, Divac blinked at Angel.

Ricard accidentally saw Divac's eyes and understood the meaning of the eyes. His back suddenly became numb.

This old demon didn't teach many good things to An Jie, but he taught a lot of these bad tricks. I just hope An Jie can get that level and don't make a mistake.

Both sides returned to the field, and Texas Agricultural Machinery University still mainly played Jordan's personal singles. On the Tornado team, after reminding, An Jie and his teammates both walked out of the state of playing four individually, and they became the Tornado team that never stopped running.

Mike Taylor made a mid-range shot.

Cruze made two-pointers from a long distance.

Both balls are scoring opportunities created by the Tornados with active off-ball runs and complex and tacit unball pick-and-rolls.

As long as Anjie restrains Jordan Jr. in the interior, other teammates will have more and more opportunities. The defense backbone of one team is restrained, and it is not an exaggeration to directly reduce the quality of this team's defense.

Texas Agricultural University head coach Carter Robertson frowned off the court. The Tornado team's offense has shown signs of improvement, but on the other hand, Jordan Jr. has no tactically helped his teammates' offense. His pick-and-roll awareness is poor, and he can't do it subconsciously. Now he only wants to play singles in a slight way, and after entering the single state, he rarely passes the ball out again. However, who has made this guy in a hot state recently? He has even broken the record of continuous goals. Let him continue to play singles and wait and see. Anyway, Jordan Jr. is really good now.

It was precisely for this reason that Robertson did not change his tactics, but continued to let Jordan Jr. solve the problem himself. So during the offense of Texas Agricultural Machinery University, DeAndrew Jordan received the ball again with Angel.

He was against Jordan again, and Anjie kept repeating what his teacher Divac had just said in his mind. Grasp the other party's shortcomings and you can beat him.

Basketball has poor basic skills and low IQ. These are DeAndrew Jordan’s two biggest shortcomings. Such opponents are easy to deal with. Didn’t Divac teach himself such tricks?

DeAndrew Jordan really couldn't come up with any other tricks, so he started to hit Anger on his back, hoping to continue scoring in the same way.

Next, he felt the resistance behind him, and he also made great strides with his strength advantage.

The second time, he still felt that An Jie behind him was trying his best to stop him, but this was in vain.

The third move, he decided to forcefully, lift the thin defender away, and then scored again. However, unlike what he imagined, when he pushed An Jie with the third move, he felt empty on his back and lost his center of gravity due to excessive force.

When Anjie was working hard for the first two times, he deliberately made the illusion of fighting with him to the end, so that Jordan, who was full of confidence, would go back with all his strength in the third stroke. But when Jordan really went back with all his strength, Anjie deliberately took a step back, causing Jordan to lose his center of gravity to lose his footsteps. Jordan, who had lost his center of gravity, could not control his steps, and walked four or five steps in a row with the basketball in his arms before stabilizing and not falling.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and there was no doubt that the ball rights exchanged.

"Fuck!" Jordan spread his hands and looked at the referee innocently. But the rules are rules, and walking means walking.

"You opportunistic guy!" Jordan roared at Anjie in dissatisfaction. Only Morris knew the character of Anjie. No matter how you provoke or dissatisfied, Anjie would not respond easily. He would only respond to the other party's provocation with actions. You should know that Morris was the first person who was so embarrassed that he could not even get a response to Anjie.

"Haha, it's not bad." Divac looked down and clapped his hands. If he wanted to dominate the inside, it was not possible to do it with just brute force.

DeAndrew Jordan became angry and anxious after that ball, and his movements were no longer controlled by his brain. So in the next attack of the Tornado team, Anjie kept seducing Jordan Jordan with his steps, and finally tricked him into a foul.

"I didn't meet him, he bumped into him!" Jordan Little defended loudly to the referee beside Yi. The referee just waved his hand and told him to go back and stand, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.

However, Anjie only made two free throws this time. When he was the first free throw, Anjie's shooting movement was not well controlled, and the ball was a bit wrong. This also means that he now owes Ricard and Divac to fifty push-ups.

Jordan Jr. took the ball and played single again. Anjie kept interfering with DeAndrew Jordan's offensive rhythm with his small movements behind his back. While Jordan Jr. was not focused, Anjie suddenly moved forward and reached out to slap the basketball in Jordan Jr. Anthony Ben immediately picked up the ball and quickly advanced to the opponent's half. He completed a beautiful yi dragon dunk, fully demonstrating his athletic talent in front of people. This is also the first goal that Ben scored since the first half.

Through this goal, the score difference on the court was widened to six points. 29 to 23, Carter Robertson had to call a timeout.

"Dandrew, calm down! Your performance is exactly what the Asian big man is thinking!" Robertson kept reminding his subordinates that the immature child was taught by the opponent's center, with the old fox Divac, who was teaching him, and he could come up with thousands of different ways to stimulate Jordan's nerves.

"You rest on the court first, and I'll send you on the court when you calm down." Robertson patted Jordan Jr. on the shoulder and then continued to set tactics for other players. Jordan Jr. just let the towel be placed on his head, and he kept moving and said no.

..

At this time of the game, both sides also changed into their own rotation lineups. The only one on the Tornado is Anthony. This player will withstand the defensive pressure when Anger is not on the court.

What surprised everyone was that when DeAndrew Jordan was not on the court, Texas Agricultural Machinery University's offense improved and played well. It was just that the defense was a little worse.

"This is not good news for that kid." Divac said to himself.

Yes, Carter Robertson has also seen the changes in the team at this moment. DeAndrew Jordan has almost no tactical role on the offensive end, and he can't play anything other than his own singles. The reason why they were able to win the first three games was because Jordan Jordan personally played too well. However, today, Jordan Jordan met a smart guy, and he would not be so consuming with DeAndrew. He just made DeAndrew's move and foul, and he could already see the clues.

Robertson began to make a chess decision in his heart at this moment. While thinking, Texas Agricultural Machinery University had already relied on smooth offense to catch up to only two points. The team played very well. If DeAndrew could not perform well against the Asian boy in the subsequent game, then he would have to press Jordan Jr. to the bench.
