Champions Creed

Chapter 13 013:58 people are destined to be extraordinary

In the 66 NCAA finals, the Kentucky Wildcats never thought they would lose to Texas Western University.

The All Blacks starting team? What a joke, are they worthy of being opponents?
Kentucky has the strongest offensive guard in the entire NCAA, Pat Riley, and a great coach, the "Blueberry Baron."

The opponents were just a bunch of rebellious black street clowns who played basketball in an irregular way.

Then, the greatest finals in NCAA history was born.

The Kentucky Wildcats shocked the nation by losing by seven points, with Pat Riley's shooting percentage being blocked to just 7%.

Riley, who later became a fortune teller, would smile helplessly when talking about this game: "What they held in their hands was not just a basketball, but dignity. In the end, they won the respect of everyone."

The same was true tonight at Bullock High School.

A small town school with an Asian core whose playing style was criticized by the media. They don't look like champions at all.

But now, they were suppressing the elite Newman High School, making the whole audience silent.

Then, you will win the respect of the whole America!

Simmons's ejection marked the beginning of Newman High School's defeat.

At this time, the mentality of the entire Newman High School team was affected, including Randy Livingston, who began to doubt himself, because they had never seen an opponent like Roger who could not even be restricted by fouls.

Facing double-teams, he can continue to score. Facing fouls, he can continue to score 2+1.

Playing ball with Roger is harder than taking the postgraduate entrance exam!

The most troublesome thing was that when Simmons was fouled out, Randy Livingston had to be pushed in front of Roger.

At the beginning, Newman High School did not use Livingston to defend Roger, not because they were afraid that Livingston could not defend him, but because they hoped that Livingston could focus more on the offensive end.

Basketball games are not about emotions, and few coaches will use their core players to compete against the opponent's core players right from the start.

The sharpest sword is naturally meant to pierce the opponent's softest spot.

But now, Newman High School has nowhere to turn back.

Their only option is fencing!

Then everyone discovered a fact - even Randy Livingston, the number one player in the United States, couldn't defend against Roger!

In terms of one-on-one defense ability, Livingston is indeed much stronger than Simmons.

He has extremely fast lateral speed, excellent confrontation ability, and is very good at reading the opponent's offense. He also does the small skills and details perfectly.

In most defensive rounds, he actually interfered with Roger, and he is worthy of being the top high school student in the United States.

But. None of this works!
Because Roger's touch had been completely tapped out at this time, he was so hot that it seemed as if he would definitely score as long as he shot.

Even though Livingston was blocking Roger's face, Roger was still able to make the shot!
That's what a super scorer is like, once he goes crazy, there's no way to stop him.

Score, score, and keep scoring.

Jon Barry stood up and said, "Let me tell you what happened. The whole scene seemed to have turned into the Boston Garden on April 1986, 4! Yes, people believed that Roger could score 17 points like Michael Jordan!"

Livingston didn't show any sign of being the best in the United States in front of Roger.

Affected by the mentality, Newman High School's offense began to stagnate.

Livingston still tried to find his teammates like a commander.

But the players of Newman High School began to miss open shots frequently and began to make inexplicable mistakes.

Their morale had been crushed by Roger's abnormal goals.

The other players from Brock High School knew that they couldn't help Roger much on offense, so they defended seriously and fought for every loose ball and rebound. As a result, Newman High School had fewer and fewer open opportunities.

In the end, Livingston was forced to attack on his own.

However, this tore off his last fig leaf, because people found that Livingston did not have Roger's completely unstoppable scoring ability.

His scoring ability is very strong, but not unstoppable.

Even when he encounters interference, he will still forge ahead.

If he encounters obstruction, he will still be blocked.

Compared with Roger, his scoring ability seems weaker.

At the beginning, Newman High School fans still had this fantasy: "As long as Livingston starts shooting, the game can be fought back!"

But now, the fantasy has completely shattered like a bubble.

Livingston can win those games that follow the rules, but when it comes to killing the game with unconventional defense, it has to be the truth!
With 57 seconds left in the game, Roger forced his way past Livingston, suddenly stopped near the basket, and took a step back.

Livingston flew forward, and he tried to brake, but he failed and fell to the ground. Livingston, who was described by the media as perfect on defense, was knocked down and completely became Roger's plaything.

Admit it, even the best high school students in the United States can't defend him!

Roger, who had left Livingston behind, scored easily from mid-range, and Brock High School led by 16 points.

The game enters garbage time!

Tony Reilly paused the game, and the moment the whistle blew, the funeral march of Newman High School had already started playing in advance.

All the players on the Brock High School bench rushed onto the court, and they could celebrate their championship in advance without restraint.

However, what surprised the fans the most was not that Bullock High School won the championship.

But it's Roger's personal score!
In the end, he didn't score as exaggerated as 86 points like Jordan did against the Celtics in 63. After all, the playing time in high school is limited.

But 58 points is scary enough!

I thought 25 points in the first half was magical enough, but in the second half Roger went even further and scored 33 points.

Simmons suddenly felt very lucky. At least he was not the one who was beaten the worst today.

58 is an unusual number in basketball games.

Those who can be associated with this number are often not ordinary people.

Chris Paul, the first generation 58 master, will never disappoint people when it comes to disappointing people. No one can break this rule in his career.

In 23, Scooter Henderson, the third pick in the draft, broke the NBA record with a plus-minus value of -58 in his first year in the league, becoming the undisputed strongest tanking artifact in this version, making fans exclaim that the person who invented Henderson is truly a talent.

What does a plus-minus of -58 mean? In the best night of his career, when he scored 8 points in the finals, his plus-minus was only -6.

Rounding off, 1 Henderson = 10 James. Henderson is simply the new generation's chosen one.

And now, Roger is fortunate enough to be associated with 58.

He is destined to be extraordinary!

Roger walked off the field surrounded by his teammates. At that moment, the more than 10,000 fans at the scene no longer dared to ignore or laugh at him.

The players from Newman High School on the opposite side no longer stared at Roger with a contemptuous smile. There was only disbelief and fear on their faces.

Sure enough, dignity is in your own hands, and no one can take away anything as long as you don't let them succeed.

The last few dozen seconds of the game were meaningless, and the players of Newman High School even wanted to leave the field.

Even the referee seemed to have left work early. During one of the games, a Newman High School player stepped out of bounds with both feet to save the ball right under the referee's nose, but the referee didn't even blow the whistle. I don't know about other things, but this referee should be from Oakland.

The moment the game ended, everyone in the Jonesville Auto Repair Shop hugged Lu An tightly.

"Hahahaha, your nephew is so fucking awesome! Did you see that? Those idiots who graduated from Newman are speechless!"

"He is now the undisputed number one in the United States!"

The man who was originally repairing the car hugged Lu An's thigh and said, "Godfather, I think my brother can play in the NBA!"

The last sentence touched Lu An a little.

NBA? OK?

It sounds far-fetched, but who would have thought a few months ago that Roger would score 58 points in the state finals?

In fact, it wasn’t just the customer who came to get his car repaired who thought Roger could play in the NBA.

After the game, Bulls scout Ivanka Dukan found her palms were full of sweat. In her notebook, she had already written several pages of scouting reports for Roger.

He had seen countless European talents play, so he never thought that one day he would be frightened by a high school student and made him sweat.

Now, he had to make a summary of the boy who made him sweat so much.

Finally, he wrote:

"Roger's scoring ability was dominant, and the only reason he didn't average 40 or 50 points per game was because the high school game was so short.

The state championship means nothing to him, and being No. 1 in the United States is not even a stumbling block for him. His stage will definitely be in the NBA.

And if I were the decision maker, I would give him this opportunity even if he came to the Bulls for a tryout as a high school student right now.

Oh, and he has another advantage. Because he is Chinese, he probably doesn't take drugs, doesn't like gambling, doesn't have a gang background, and probably doesn't have a very hot temper.

I'm not kidding, you all know what a huge advantage these are, ha!"
