I really play basketball

Chapter 2 "Basic Do Not Attack"

Shortly after the semi-finals ended, news came from Oakland in the North Division.

"It's confirmed, the opponent in the final is St. Joseph St. Maria High School!"

In the locker room after the game, head coach Darryl Lope informed his players immediately.

At this time, they just won the semi-finals by a big score, and they are only one step away from the California championship.

The players of Crossroad High School were very excited, their self-confidence was already bursting, and they didn't care who their opponent was.

"No matter who his opponent is, the championship can only be ours!"

"It's true, it's already reached this point, what about St. Joseph St. Mary High School?

"We have Lin Xing here, no one is afraid!"

Lin Xing rolled his eyes, even he dared not say anything and was not afraid of anyone.

However, if you really want to say that you are afraid, you must not be afraid.

It's just that he won't be as brainless and confident as his teammates.

Especially, when the opponent is St. Joseph Santa Maria High School.

This opponent made Lin Xing recall his high school career on the spot——

He spent three years in high school, the freshman and sophomore seasons, in San Francisco.

At that time, he was studying at Chinatown High School in San Francisco.

In his freshman year, he only played one game.

In the second match, he threw his fist angrily because of the opponent's insulting words.

After a [-]v[-] bloody battle, he was suspended for a whole year.

When he came back in the second season of high school, he changed his style. The style of play is still rough, but there is a bit of detail in the rough.

Even if there is a conflict, he will not throw his fist easily, but turned into an old cunt...

In this way, incarnation of the old yin beep, he attended all seasons and led the weak Chinatown High School all the way to the North District finals, the so-called semi-finals.

He lost in the semi-finals, and his opponent in that match happened to be St. Joseph St. Maria High School!
In the next senior year of high school, Lin's father and Lin's mother moved to Los Angeles with Lin Xing because of civil unrest in the Chinese community in San Francisco.

As a result, Lin Xing transferred to Cross Road High School, where he met better teammates.

Like Ricky Roberts, the white shooter who hit a [-]-pointer on his pass in the semifinal against City High.

Accurate three-pointers, tough style of play, has NCAA Division I prospects.

Such a teammate was something he simply couldn't have in Chinatown High School.

Also because from San Francisco to Los Angeles, he switched from the Northern Division to the Southern Division.

A staggered division with St. Joseph Santa Maria High School prevented them from meeting again until the final.

Although his teammates are better, Lin Xing still dare not be too optimistic about this final.

Not only because the opponent is very strong and has defeated himself before.

Also because there is a familiar name in the opponent team-Jason Kidd.

That's right, it's Jason Kidd, nicknamed "Ki Bu Gong".

Many people don't know:
Kidd, who was in high school that year, led St. Joseph Santa Maria High School to win two California championships, was elected Mr. Basketball in California for two consecutive years, and was selected to the All-American team twice.

The reason for adding "almost" to "Lin Xing dominated the California high school basketball championship" is because of the existence of St. Joseph Santa Maria High School and Jason Kidd.

If you really want to talk about rule, Kidd is the real rule...

LeBron James earned the nickname Little Emperor because of his dominance in high school.

And the momentum of Jason Kidd ten years ago is not much different from that of Ajan ten years later.

As long as he wins this year's California championship and says he is the little emperor of California, there will be no problem at all.

So in the final, Lin Xing's opponent is the little California emperor Jason Kidd.

"This battle must be won!"

Lin Xing didn't know that without him, Kidd would enter the NCAA with a perfect resume of two consecutive championships in California.

He only knows that his own high school career needs a perfect ending.

Only the championship is the perfect ending.

……

After leaving Sacramento, the next stop of Crossroads High School is Long Beach, where the finals will be held.

The road was bumpy, and Lin Xing bought a newspaper on the way. When he saw the headline "Genius Point Guard Showdown", his senses were strange.

Although it has been almost 17 years, he has not had little contact with Kidd.

Because he lived in San Francisco when he was a child, he met Jason Kidd when he was in elementary school.

After all these years of getting along, they can be regarded as both enemies and friends.

Even so, he still can't associate the word genius point guard with Kidd, an old boy.

The image and appearance of old Kidd had already been deeply rooted in his heart.

Two days later, Lin Xing met Kidd outside the gate of the Long Beach Pyramid Stadium.

"Long time no see, Jason!"

From afar, Lin Xing said hello.

Kidd ran over with a smile on his face. When he got close, he heard the second half of Lin Xing's words:

"Hey, why is your hair getting less and less?"

The moment the smile disappeared, Kidd subconsciously touched the hairline that was indeed moving upwards, not knowing what to say.

Hair volume is a pain for many black players, and it is the same for Kidd.

For a moment like this, his mood became very bad.

He also reacted, and looked Lin Xing up and down, looking for a point where he could fight back.

Unfortunately, Lin Xing is too perfect...

Kidd, who couldn't find anything, could only stare round and asked, "Are you talking trash before the game, Star?"

"no, it is not……"

Lin Xing paused for a moment, and then told Kidd quite seriously: "It's a real and undeniable truth."

Kidd froze for a moment, and broke the defense in the next second.

"Fk, it's trash talk, now I have memorized this trash talk, you just wait for me, I will make you pay for the game later!"

He dropped a threat viciously, turned around and left.

Behind him, Lin Xing smiled.

That's right, this is the conversation that should be had before the game starts!
Because Long Beach is closer to Los Angeles, the packed Pyramid Stadium was filled with Crossroads fans.

They wore uniform blue and white T-shirts, and decorated the arena into a sea of ​​blue and white.

When Lin Xing appeared on the stage, the sound of orderly shouts filled the sky——

"Lin Xing! Boom boom!"

"Lin Xing! Boom boom!"

"..."

It has to be said that Lin Xing has already overwhelmed Kidd in terms of the momentum of the opening.

Not far away, Kidd had a dark face, staring at Lin Xing who jumped onto the technical platform and waved his hands with extremely cold eyes.

Soon, the game begins...

Judging from the composition of the lineups on both sides, St. Joseph Santa Maria High School still has a little advantage.

They have a black center, Ellison, who is 2 meters tall, with long arms and long legs, and his physical fitness is very strong.

The power forward is a fat little Williams who weighs more than 200 pounds, and he can't do better for pick-and-rolls.

The small forward is Walker, their top scorer, who can shoot suddenly.

The shooting guard is Jones, a corner three-point shooter, with full functionality.

On the other hand, Crossroads High School...

In addition to the shooting guard Rich Roberts who can shoot, the power forward is a skinny black buddy who looks about the same height as Lin Xing.

So, for the opening jump ball, Lin Xing had no choice but to hit it by himself.

Beep!
The referee whistled, and Lin Xing jumped up, pop!

"It's the jump ball, and the Crossroads point guard beat the St. Joseph Santa Maria's center to win the jump ball!"

Lin Xing personally played the jump ball and defeated Ellison who was not much taller than him.

And his position is indeed point guard.

Rich Roberts controlled the ball across half court, and then made a cross pass to Lin Xing.

With the ball at the top of the arc, the point guard began to perform his duties.

But at this moment, what he has to face is Kidd's defense.

In terms of defense, Kidd is definitely the leader, as evidenced by his 9 best defenses in his NBA career.

Lin Xing's pressure is still very high, um, the conventional style of play, it is definitely not so easy to tear through Kidd's defense, so some means must be used.

Skillfully slapping the basketball with his right hand, he suddenly took a step forward, knowing that it was impossible to erase Kidd's Lin Xing in one step, and then continued to turn around.

Bang, bang, bang...

In the process of turning around, the basketball quickly switched to the left hand, and the right arm that was originally controlling the ball suddenly elbowed up.

hiss!
After a sound of inhalation, Kidd's defense faltered obviously.

He didn't have time to make up the gap, and he had already released a way out.

On the other side, Lin Xing, who turned around and passed Kidd in one step, immediately speeded up and rushed in...

At the basket, he pushed away the thick black Ellison and raised his hand for a layup.

boom!
Cheers broke out in the Pyramid Stadium, and Lin Xing clenched his fist and waved it twice.

Turning around to defend, he faced Kidd again.

"Damn it, you elbowed me on horseback!"

Although the tone was surprised, there was no surprise on Kidd's face.

It's the 90s now, elbows are part of basketball, accidents are no surprises.

Kidd just felt that Lin Xing was too serious at the beginning with an elbow.

Lin Xing is so serious, he has to be serious too.

Many people will be confused by the nickname "Kidd does not attack", thinking that Kidd is a point guard who is not good at attacking.

In fact, Kidd just doesn't have that strong desire to attack.

He prefers to assist his teammates to score than to score himself.

But if he is really allowed to play by himself, with the intensity of the Midi High School League, it is still easy for him to score [-] or [-] points in a game.

In the current round, Kidd started.

A seemingly random crotch dribble and a sudden step to the side.

Lin Xing's defense wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. This step of probing immediately swayed his center of gravity.

The probing step was retracted, Kidd started instantly, and galloped towards the other side.

Dabai Bradley went up, but was played by Kidd with a low layup.

Swish!
2 to 2 tie, the old boy Kidd also clenched his fist and waved it.

Although Lin Xing gave him an elbow, he didn't return Lin Xing's elbow.

This is the gold content of the future two NBA sportsmanship award winners!
In the crossroads high school round, Lin Xing continued to beat Kidd's defense.

On the point guard, he is the most traditional.

At the beginning of the game, you must first start your own offense, and then you can drive your teammates.

In this wave of strong attacks, he asked for a cover, and Dabai's cover was still of good quality.

Kidd was delayed for a while and couldn't keep up with Lin Xing.

The overall defense of St. Joseph Santa Maria High School did not target Lin Xing too much.

This made Lin Xing, who was rushing up, pass Ellison who was changing defense immediately, rush into the unguarded penalty area, and jumped up...

Bang-dang-!
With a loud noise, Lin Xing hung high above the basket.

This is a tomahawk-style snap that took off in the area close to the frame. After the violent abuse of the frame, the Pyramid Gymnasium was like a madman, and the cheers were earth-shattering!
Kidd is expressionless, isn't it just a dunk, who wouldn't?
Turning around to counterattack, he also found a cover, and rushed up immediately.

The chubby Williams who was covering him turned around and went down, but Dabai, who was protecting the frame under the basket, went straight towards Kidd in a daze.

Kidd, whose mind is full of dunks, just raised his hand to meet Dabai!

An unexpected lob came out...

Boom!
Fatty Williams abused the frame heavily, and the basket swayed twice with his dunk, crumbling.

"Good dunk, Williams, much better dunk than Lin Xing!"

Lin Xing was stupefied, just this dunk, there is no aesthetic feeling at all, is it much better than him?
Kidd, old boy, is he talking nonsense?

Lin Xing really guessed right, Kidd was talking nonsense.

This buckle, Kidd, the old boy, originally wanted to do it himself.

In the end, seeing Dabai like a mountain, he backed away.

In order to hide his timidity, he could only boast indiscriminately about Williams who stood up and dunked one for him.

Then, go back to the defensive end and seriously mark Lin Xing.

Back on the offensive end, Lin Xing continued to beat Kidd hard.

Either an elbow to clear the way, or a cover to get rid of Kidd, anyway, it is going to break through.

After the breakthrough, the opponent pinches him, and he passes the ball.

If the opponent lets him go, he will score by himself.

Just like A-Zhan, he led the offense of Crossroad High School with his own system.

On the other side, at St. Joseph Santa Maria High School, Kidd also started to play his good basketball.

His own singles score is not much, it can be said to be pitifully small.

But there are a lot of passes, and there is even a ball that is standing outside the three-point line and is almost dead.

Suddenly, with a long swing, he threw it to the basket, and found the teammate of the air cut so directly.

Teammates followed up and dunked successfully...

Although the playing styles are different, the score seems to be bitten to death. It will only rise alternately, and there is no intention of pulling away at all.

"As expected of the finals of the California High School Basketball Tournament, it's too cracked, too hot."

"Jason Kidd vs. Biao Linxing, in this battle of genius point guards, the two are evenly matched and will not give in to each other!"

"It seems that in a short period of time, this game is a close match..."

Kidd and Lin Xing fought each other, using their own housekeeping skills.

The game, which was so close to victory, slowly reached the decisive moment where the foundation was still broken.

In the last minute of the game, whoever wins and who loses is completely a matter of thought!
