Chapter Thirteen: Head to Head (Part 1)

The more times Ricard talks about DeAndrew and Jordan in the locker room, the more excited Anger becomes. The coach attaches importance to him, which means that this guy is really strong. Being able to fight against a strong opponent is also a great opportunity to prove his strength.

Angel had also studied the video of the Texas Agricultural Machinery University game with the whole team. In the video, DeAndrew Jordan gave people the impression that he was very physically intensive and had excellent athletic ability. What else? There was nothing.

Jordan Jr. did not show his back skills in the game, nor did he bring much help to his teammates in terms of pick-and-roll screens. Even the attack method of scoring 6 goals was only 1, which was dunk, various dunks. After grabbing the frontcourt rebound, he directly jumped on the spot, dunk, aerial relay dunk, one-handed dunk, two-hand dunk, and dunk every single goal Jordan Jordan scored was exciting, but he would inevitably ask in his heart if he saw too much. "Can this guy have something else besides dunking?"

"Anger! You have to prepare me for this game, and you can't underestimate the opponents! DeAndrew Jordan and the opponents you met before are not of a level! On the defensive end, you will encounter great obstacles. His terrifying bounce can make your height and wingspan advantage disappear instantly. Be careful of his blocking, don't take it for granted and just take action!" Ricard loudly reminded Anger that the most common mistake that young people make is self-inflation and arrogant. After playing a few good games, they regard themselves as an invincible star. Ricard doesn't want to see such a mistake happening to Anger.

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not qualified to underestimate any opponent. I will do my best as usual."

"Very good! We have done a good job so far, let's keep this momentum going today! Okay guys! Time is up, come on the field!"

In addition, in the locker room beside Yi, Texas Agricultural University head coach Carter Robertson also listed Angel as the player to focus on this game. Although Andrew Morris and Mike Taylor from Iowa State also performed well in the first three games. But he still believes that as long as the Chinese are curbed, the threat of Morris and Taylor who lacks support will be much smaller on the offensive end.

"Dandrew, don't underestimate that thin Chinese big man. On the defensive end, you must do your best to stop him." Carter Robertson was also afraid that Jordan, who had just broken the record, would take it lightly, so he told him again before the game.

"Don't worry, boss, I will let that yellow-skinned guy see what it means to be a real insider fighting." As he said that, Jordan bulged the muscles on his arm. His teammates also followed him and started making noise, and the atmosphere in the locker room became extremely relaxed.

No one could see the atmosphere in the locker room, but the atmosphere on the venue began to warm up gradually.

Anjie came out of the player channel and stared at DeAndrew Jordan. Jordan Jordan also turned around and saw Anjie on the other side of the stadium. The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of murderous intent. Before the game began, the two opponents were already competing in secret.

Divac also sat on the bench in a suit and silently followed the stadium. This is the first time that Anjie has met an opponent who can really pose a threat to him. I hope he can make a big splash and improve Anjie's confidence in the draft. How much has this kid absorbed from the things he taught? This also made Divac look forward to it very much.

"The same team that has experienced three consecutive victories, the same team that uses centers as the attack point, and is also a team that is not favored by everyone this season. The Iowa State University Tornado and the Texas Agricultural University Farmers' Children's Team have too many similarities, but two of the two teams have completely opposite playing styles. The Tornado Anjie's body is thin and athletic, and he relies on his outstanding back-to-body skills to dominate the penalty area. DeAndrew Jordan has no skills, and he relies entirely on his strong body and excellent athletic ability. This kind of polarized matchup is also very much anticipated." Paul Philips still served as the commentator of the local sports station in Ames City.

"You're right, coupled with Divac's personal guidance, I think we might see an Angel who is completely different in the game." Philips's partner was still the Bill he was familiar with.

The commentator's debate, the fans' shouts, the cheerleaders' dance, the media's hype. All the preparations have been done and people are looking forward to this showdown indefinitely. Now, we are just waiting for the exciting game to officially begin.

With the referee's whistle, DeAndrew Jordan jumped into the air directly in the middle circle! He easily won the ball to start for the peasant children. Only when he really confronted him on the court did Anjie experience how terrifying Jordan's jump and bounce were. Anjie never lost in the first three games, but today Jordan jumped faster than him in his entire palm!

After landing, Jordan did not stop and ran directly to the three-second zone. Anjie knew his intention and quickly started before the others could react and chased Jordan. But Anjie was still a little slower, and Jordan's running speed was much faster than Anjie.

Morris also found something wrong and immediately chased after Anjie.

Seeing that Jordan Jr. had already stepped into the free throw line, Marvin Jones, the point guard of the Farmers' Children's Team, threw the ball directly into the air.

An Jie jumped and intercepted the ball on the way. He couldn't touch the ball, so he was so bad.

Morris also jumped and intercepted the way, and he was much worse than Angel.

The ball just passed over Angel and Morris' heads and flew towards Jordan Jr.

Neither of the Cyclone's inside teams could touch this ball, so can DeAndrew Jordan catch it?

When the ball was about to fly to Jordan's head, it had already begun to fall. The ball was passed just in time and would not be destroyed by others, but it could be taken down by its own people.

DeAndrew Jordan would not miss this opportunity to rage the basket. He rose from the ground and picked up the basketball that was still falling in the air with both hands. He did not land, but instead dunked the ball into the basket after getting the ball. This powerful dunk made the entire basket tremble, causing the entire arena to cheer.

After landing, Jordan hit his chest a few times. This was a kind of catharsis and announced that this would be his game.

Afterwards, Jordan turned around and looked at the big yellow-skinned man who failed to pursue him. He stretched out his index finger toward An Jie.

This game is destined to be a battle between the two of us, and DeAndrew Jordan silently declares war on Angel.

"Now the score is yi:o." When he ran back to his halftime, Jordan said this to Anjie softly.

Anjie knew that Jordan Jr. was not talking about the score on the field, but the score unique to the two of them.

"Haha, this guy named Jordan is interesting. How will you deal with it next? Boy." Everyone on the bench of the Tornados frowned, but Divac showed a smile.

..

"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy." Mike Taylor Yi was controlling the ball, shouting the secret code of the formation, urging his teammates to run. After hearing the code, everyone stood very well, and Anger and Morris also pulled outside the three-second zone, giving a lot of offensive space in the penalty area.

"Why, don't you plan to face me directly? Or did the ball just now scare you?" Jordan chattered and provoked in Anjie's ear, but Anjie's emotions were not affected. He firmly carried out the offense according to tactics, and did not get hot because of the opponent's provocation.

When Taylor had just transported the ball to the top of the three-point line, Anjie suddenly started and ran out to make a wall for Taylor. Jordan Jordan knew that this guy had shot with his yi, so he didn't dare to neglect and followed Anjie behind him.

The quality of the pick-and-roll was as good as that, Taylor did not completely get rid of Jones' defense. When he broke through to a half-emergency stop and was about to take a jump shot, Jones still rushed to interfere with Taylor's shooting.

Anjie turned around and ran to the basket the moment Taylor took a shot. Of course, Jordan Jr. responded the same way. The chance of taking this ball was not good, and the chance of not making a shot was high.

Sure enough, the basketball bounced out. Jordan Jr. originally wanted to squeeze into the inside with his bounce and strength to grab the rebound, but Anjie opened his arms and stuck himself outside. Jordan Jr. was unwilling to give up, but he still jumped with all his might, but he did not reach the landing point of the basketball. On the contrary, Anjie watched the changes in the basketball, stuck in his position, and kept moving. Jordan Jr. was not disturbed when he jumped behind him. In this way, Anjie saw the opportunity, jumped gently, and took the offensive rebound into his arms.

Divac looked carefully at Angela's foot movements and the upper limbs' technical movements off the court, and felt very relieved. This kid absorbed it very quickly. If he had more accurate judgment on the rebound's landing point, it would be even more perfect. However, this thing cannot be taught, and he could only accumulate experience through continuous games.

After Anjie got the rebound and landed, he was just under the basket, but he didn't rush to jump immediately to complete the second attack. He knew that there was someone behind him who was more anxious than him.

An Jie raised the basketball, and seemed to be preparing to jump and dunk directly. Sure enough, Jordan, seeing that he lost the defensive rebound, could no longer allow the kid to complete the second offensive score so easily. He saw An Jie lifting the basketball, and jumped decisively to prepare for blocking.

An Jie knew that Jordan would be fooled, and in this case, even he himself might be shaken by the same movement. This is the conditioned reflex of every basketball player. Seeing that his opponent is in an open position and preparing to take action, most people will rush over and interfere with the attack like a broken sheep.

Even though Anjie knew someone would rush towards him, he had no intention of dodging. Jordan Jordan jumped too high and directly pressed Anjie's back and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Anjie did not do anything bad at this time, so Jordan Jordan did not fall too hard.

There is no doubt that the referee blew up a defensive foul. Anger not only got two free throws, but also gave DeAndrew Jordan a foul at the beginning of the game.

Under the guidance of Divac, Anger's shooting was more stable. Therefore, there was no accident in these two free throws, and he made both free throws perfectly. Anger scored 2 points and rebounded in his offense, and Jordan Jr. also made him foul. It was simply too many.

When he ran back to his half-time defense, An Jie compared two of his hands to Jordan.

“yi:yi, we have done it again.”
