Guard With a Knife

Seventy-eight: [Kansas has no garbage time]

"Now, what is before you is the beginning of a legendary story."

Snoopy's voice became more and more steady, everyone on the bench was already focused on him, and he didn't need to use an excited tone to attract the attention of his teammates. "Everyone should have a period of youth that is worth remembering. I hope that, fifty years later, when you mention this evening in front of your grandchildren, your blood will still be boiling with excitement!"

"Come on, let's go win!"

beep! The whistle sounded.

Snoopy walked to the court, followed by Russell Westbrook, Luke Mbah a Moute, George Bruni, Brian Wright.

Their expressions are completely different, everyone's eyes are extremely determined, and they can't wait to ignite their passionate youth.

Snoopy didn't growl, he didn't roar, he didn't slap everyone on the chest and say death-defying words.

He just ignited the fire in everyone's heart with a smooth narrative. This fire belongs to youth, to basketball, and to the undefeated spirit of youth.

"Snoopy is great!" Earl Johnson sighed from the bottom of his heart in the commentary: "This is the best speech I have ever heard. When Kevin Love left because of financial interests, Snoopy personally ignited the teenager's Hot blood. Winner or loser, hats off tonight for the Bruins. They play real pure basketball."

Kenny Smith quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I regret that I didn't enjoy my college time well. Until now, I still can't remember what wonderful stories I had in college. At that time, I always couldn't wait to see Prove your ability, always can't wait to join the NBA and earn a high salary."

Charles Barkley said calmly: "These kids are so lucky. If they win tonight, their story will become the best advertisement in the NCAA!"

TNT viewers know what happened to the bench.

However, the fans in the stadium didn't know it, and neither did other TV stations.

Therefore, a small number of Los Angeles fans who could not bear to witness the slaughter of the home team left early.

The commentator of NBC even said: "The chance of winning tonight is less than 1%. Kevin Love's injury and retirement have too much impact on them. They can no longer play singles from the paint area." Inside players."

There was a sense of sadness in the air at Memorial Coliseum.

"You finally played."

Darrell Arthur smiled when he saw Snoopy approaching him: "Actually, I appreciate the work you did to Joey Dorsey and Derek Rose. But, your set has nothing to me. Doesn't work."

"With three minutes left in the first half, you're trailing by 13 points. Our goal is to build a 20-point lead before halftime and then start garbage time early in the second half."

Arthur said to Snoopy without hesitation: "I hope that next time we play against each other, you can play earlier. You know, as a star player, I won't show up during garbage time."

He didn't show a domineering attitude, nor was he as aggressive as in the interview video.

His eyes and tone were full of pity. In his eyes, Snoopy was already a catfish thrown on the cutting board.

At this time, Westbrook had already brought the ball to the front court. Instead of going deep into the penalty area, Snoopy turned around and walked to the free throw line to make a pick and roll for Westbrook. Westbrook used the cover to quickly attack the penalty area, and Arthur and Jackson shrank their defense at the same time.

At this time, Westbrook passed the basketball.

Snoopy got the ball and Mario Chalmers was about to press. With a flick of Snoopy's wrist, the basketball quickly flew into the paint.

Chalmers didn't even know whether Snoopy was passing or shooting.

boom!

Brian Wright hangs strong above the rim.

He completed an alley-oop that slipped the baseline.

While he dunks, Arthur and Jackson's defense is all concentrated on the right side, and Westbrook brings their defense there.

Snoopy seized the fleeting opportunity and escorted Brian Wright to the sky with a well-timed pass!

The long-suppressed Memorial Stadium exploded with astonishing noise following this dunk.

Brian Wright holds up his right hand: "This is just the beginning!"

He roared.

Morale suddenly increased.

look back.

Kansas' Brandon Rush executes a jumper from beyond the arc... BOOM!

Basketball strikes iron.

Darrell Arthur and D Jackson rushed to grab the rebound at the same time, but Snoopy stood in the middle, spread his hands, and blocked them abruptly behind him. His powerful blocking ability prevented the two Kansas forwards from space. I can only watch Westbrook easily win the backcourt rebound.

After Westbrook got the rebound, he didn't break the rhythm and adopted a decapitated defensive counterattack.

When Snoopy stood on the court, he was used to following orders and playing by ear.

Because he knows that Snoopy is a selfless person, and he unconditionally believes in Snoopy's IQ.

Arrived in the front field. Luke Mbah a Moute arrives at the left elbow to run a pick-and-roll for Westbrook. After Westbrook rushes into the paint, Snoopy has forced a passage for him... Boom!

His tomahawk-style slash and button is as powerful as a bamboo!

The Memorial Stadium resounded with cheers again.

Two consecutive dunks narrowed the point difference to single digits.

Kansas head coach Bill Self raised his guard.

Snoopy's positioning ability made him realize that the two space forwards he put on the court would be very passive under the basket. He looked at the two white seven-footers on the bench, Kuhn and Aldrie strange.

"If you continue to narrow the point difference, make substitution adjustments."

Bill Self muttered quietly, then yelled into the arena: "Pick-and-roll! Pick-and-roll!"

As soon as his voice fell, Darrell Arthur immediately mentioned the high position.

At this time, the NBA scouts and general managers sitting in the VIP area all straightened up, and some even stood up.

This ball is very critical.

If Snoopy can defend Arthur's high jumper, then the NBA will rate him even higher.

And if he huddles in the paint, everyone has to lower their expectations of him.

However, Snoopy's actions surprised them.

Snoopy did not enter the paint area, let alone catch up to the top of the arc.

Instead, he stood at the left elbow, two steps away from Darrell Arthur.

"What does he want to do? This position can't prevent the breakthrough of the guard, and it can't interfere with the forward's high jumper."

ESPN commentator Bill Walton expressed everyone's doubts.

At this time, Russell Robinson on the court also realized this. He actually gave up the pick and roll. He walked directly to the other side, took Bruni's defense away, and then turned back and passed the ball to Darrell Arthur. .

Arthur received the basketball and faced Snoopy who was two steps away from him.

Without any hesitation, he jumped up and shot!

But just as he jumped off the ground, Snoopy in front of him moved suddenly, like a long-awaited lynx, ruthlessly pounced on his prey.

One step later, he had already come to Arthur's side.

At this moment, Arthur had just risen to the highest point, and he was about to shoot... Phew!

There was a flash of wind in front of my eyes.

A black shadow enveloped his eyes out of thin air, and just as he threw the basketball, a huge palm fell from the sky... Pop!

The basketball made a sharp wind sound and flew over his head whistling.

Bark!

When he fell to the ground, the shadow also descended.

Arthur lowered his head, Snoopy raised his head, and their eyes met.

"You should be glad Kansas has no more garbage time."
