Chapter 10: Ten Points Behind At The Start! Hatred Head Coach!
"Calipari is really lucky. Who would have thought that he would be able to bring Derek to Memphis under the watchful eyes of established giants such as Duke, Kentucky, and UCLA."
"Yes, we have to fly so far to watch the game..."
"I think we can still look forward to it. Calipari is good at training point guards. The ddm tactics he is proud of do match Derek's style of play."
"Well, I guess we will fly to Memphis a lot this season."
In the stands of the arena, a group of scouts were whispering to each other and looking passionately at Derrick Rose who was warming up off the court.
There is no doubt that these people are attracted by Derrick Rose.
Chen Hao didn't expect that he underestimated Derrick Rose's popularity.
The first game was a simple warm-up match, and there were actually scouts sitting in the stands.
This may be the benefit of having star players on the team.
Playing next to such teammates, as long as you play well, you will have natural traffic and exposure without much effort.
Get into the sights of scouts.
Just like why many NBA players in later generations like to play next to James,
Because as long as you perform well, you will be remembered by fans and lay the foundation for the next big contract.
Therefore, faced with such popularity, Chen Hao decided to give it a try.
And if you want to catch up with such popularity, the best performance is undoubtedly... to defeat the opponent!
The simplest and crudest method is to defeat the opponent's already famous player!
Chen Hao looked fieryly at the round-faced Deng in the other half, and saw him warming up for shooting with a cute smile.
He also knew that there were scouts watching this game and worked hard to express himself.
"Hey, is there someone else on the Tigers' roster?"
In the stands, a scout turned over the player list in his hand and said in surprise.
As soon as these words came out, the scouts looked at each other.
His expression seemed to have found some new joy.
Although Dayao has been in the NBA for several years, there are still a few ZG figures scattered here and there.
But this is the first time we have seen it among the NCAA Division I teams.
The curious eyes of the scouts were looking for him on the court. There is no need to look for it deliberately, the yellow-skinned figure on the court is particularly conspicuous.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang..."
"..."
"Well... I think if you are really free, you might as well pay more attention to Eric Gordon on the opposite side. The Tigers' CDR and Joey Dorsey also performed very well last year."
"That makes sense."
"Seconded."
"Me too."
....
"I'm sorry coach, they gave me too much."
"Eric, you know, sometimes what matters is not the position of team leader, but the final championship."
"I know, but I just wanted to give it a try."
"Good luck to you and I hope you won't regret it."
"you too...."
With Round-faced Den and Calipari standing on the sidelines, having finished their "cordial" exchange with a smile on their faces, and amid the enthusiastic cheers of their classmates, the game between the Tigers and the Mountaineers finally began.
And it seems that because of the communication with Calipari before the game, the round face was buffed.
In the first round of the game, Round Face Den hit a super long three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
At that time, the defender had already blocked his face, and the basketball still hit the basket steadily as if it was equipped with a locator.
He has a thick and round face, and has superb shooting skills that don't match his body.
He is worthy of being a star player who scored 50 points twice in high school and was selected to the McDonald's High School All-American Team!
But that's not the point. The point is the look in Calipari's eyes when he turned back and glanced at Calipari after he hit the three-pointer.
It seemed as if something had been said, but also as if nothing had been said.
Calipari responded with a polite smile, but turned around: "Who the hell is waiting for Eric to score another three-pointer? He will be the one to take care of the water cooler this season!"
Here, Calipari hasn't finished speaking yet.
On the court, offense and defense switched and a fast break began.
After the Mountaineers grabbed the rebound, Roundface ran wildly with the ball.
With his strong body, he pushed away the CDR around him and put the ball firmly into the basket.
It can be seen that the round-faced Den is very excited.
If it weren't for Derrick Rose getting to the basket immediately, he succeeded in a small throw and responded to his opponent.
Calipari's blood pressure was high.
But the Mountaineers, who were obviously more excited about the game, attacked more fiercely.
In this round, Yuan Lianden used the pick and roll to force a breakthrough.
But the next moment the Tigers shrank their defense, the ball was passed to C.J. White on the outside.
C.J. White, who is known as the Mountain Men's twin stars along with Round Face, also has a solid three-point shot.
"brush!"
The basketball fell into the net and white waves appeared.
Another three-point score.
But it was not over yet. In the next round, due to a pass error by the Tigers, Yuan-facedeng saw that there was no chance for a fast break after the steal, so he was not anxious at all.
After advancing into the frontcourt, he pretended to be hand-in-hand with his teammates, but instead cut directly into the empty paint and succeeded in a slam dunk.
A few minutes later,
Just a few rounds into the game, the Tigers fell behind by ten points!
The atmosphere in the arena was originally hot, but now it's so cold that people want to put on a coat.
"What happened? Why did the fight start like this?"
"Yeah, I've never seen a head coach create hatred before the game and cheat the team..."
"Eric Gordon played well in this game, he was very smart, and he once again proved that he has the range of the NBA three-point line."
.......
"Hao, warm up and get ready to play."
Calipari had a sullen face and no longer planned to hide it.
Chen Hao also didn't expect that his bench time would be so short, so he excitedly took off his coat and waited on the sidelines.
