Chapter 9 Pettit's Provocation
"Hey, newcomer, my name is Tom Pettit. Although I really want to give you a good welcome, there is no way. This is our team culture. If there are any tricks, we can use them on the court."
This guy named Pettit didn't feel nervous at all, and introduced himself first with a smile.
[Pettit, 182cm, point guard, strength: 45, speed: 40, three-pointer: 46, mid-range shot: 46, inside: 44, hit: 43, dunk: 40, possession: 36, pass : 38, Steals: 33, Blocks: 40, Defense: 41, Rebounds: 43, Stability: 45]
At this time, the system is also just right, giving Thomp Pettit a comprehensive ability value.
[Su Hu, 188cm, point guard, strength: 40, speed: 40, three-pointer: 52, mid-range shot: 42, inside: 40, hit: 40, dunk: 40, ball control: 40, passing: 41, Steals: 40, Blocks: 40, Defense: 40, Rebounds: 40, Stability: 40]
Comparing with his own ability value, Su Hu's heart was still a little uneasy, but he has a little bit of stability.
From the looks of it, Kobe was indeed the only ace player on the Lower Merion High School team at the time.
Seeing that Pettit's ability is still not as high as his own, Su Hu smiled, nodded and responded,
"My name is Su Hu. I like this team culture very much. If there are no problems, I think we can start. Who will kick off first, or is the shooting decision?"
Su Hu thought, should he use the previous rules of heads-up with Kobe, and shoot to determine who kicks off first?
Unexpectedly, Petit shook his head, hit the basketball directly on the ground, and passed it to Su Hu.
"No need, you are new here, so you will kick off first."
Su Hu looked at the basketball in his hand, heard the laughter of the players next to him, shrugged, and said to Kobe outside the court,
"He is better than you at being a landlord."
Su Hu had something to say, and Kobe on the sidelines also shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, and then he couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly.
Seeing Kobe's relaxed face, Su Hu also relaxed, holding the ball and looking at Pettit.
"Then shall we begin?"
"Up to you." Pettit spread his hands, indicating that Su Hu can start at will.
Really confident, Su Hu couldn't help but secretly admired this, and then began to dribble.
Although Pettit's height is not as good as Su Hu, but in terms of strength, he is indeed stronger than Su Hu.
Pettit's defensive strategy is also different from Kobe's oppressive defense. He just stands a small step away from the three-point line, waiting for Su Hu's attack.
In this position, going forward can interfere with Su Hu's three-pointer, and retreating can stop Su Hu's breakthrough. It is a very safe single-handed defense method.
Su Hu looked at the defense, and after making a few tentative steps, he found that Pettit's footwork was passable, and there were no obvious loopholes.
In this case, looking at his three-point ability, Su Hu still decided to show his highest three-point ability first, and try his hand first.
Thinking of this, Su Hu first pretended to make a fake breakthrough, and let Petit's footsteps and center of gravity move back a little bit.
This little bit is enough for Su Hu to make a move safely.
Su Hu smiled slightly, then swung the center of gravity of his body, pulled the ball backwards, and quickly retracted the basketball. After holding the ball in both hands, he jumped directly, and it was a three-pointer!
The players outside the court immediately wowed. No one expected that in the first attack, Su Hu directly shot a three-pointer.
You know, in a normal heads-up, in the first few shots, most people will choose to dribble, break through for a layup or jump shot, and let their body warm up first.
Su Hu's choice was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
As a result, Su Hu's more adventurous attempt this time, of course, ended with a basketball bouncing out of the hoop.
And when the basketball bounced out of the hoop, everyone seemed to be mixed with a little sigh, including Kobe.
Seeing the flying basketball, Su Hu felt rather regretful, but he had no choice but to put his energy into defense as soon as possible.
"I admire your courage. After all, people who attack like this are either capable or lucky. Which one do you belong to?"
Pettit was already on the serving point, but when receiving a pass from Su Hu, he still did not forget to throw a word to Su Hu.
It has to be said that trash talking on the basketball court will always be a kind of court culture.
This kind of words will always surround your ears, trying to irritate you and destroy your confidence.
Of course Su Hu heard Petit's provocation, but Su Hu ignored it and just smiled.
Pettit started to take the ball, but he didn't start dribbling. Instead, he stared at Su Hu's footsteps and observed his defensive position.
Of course, Su Hu didn't press too much, but kept a distance of about half a step from Pettit, staring at the basketball.
Pettit made a few tentative steps, but Su Hu's defense did not have any problems.
But then, Pettit made an unconventional official basketball game move that Su Hu didn't expect.
I saw that while Su Hu was concentrating all his attention on the basketball, Petit threw the basketball in his hand towards Su Hu's forehead.
The basketball just hit Su Hu's forehead and bounced back into Pettit's hands.
This action is relatively common in street basketball, but in official basketball games, it is definitely a fuse-like action.
Su Hu didn't expect Petit to use this move, so of course he was unprepared, so he was smashed squarely.
With this action, Pettit caused the other players who watched the excitement off the field to laugh and boo after bursts of laughter.
Kobe, on the other hand, frowned, watching Pettit's extreme action.
Passing the ball completely messed up Su Hu's mentality, and Petit also took advantage of this moment to quickly dribble and break through.
Taking advantage of Su Hu's unstable foothold, he took the first step, made a quick layup, and succeeded.
0:2, Su Hu fell behind.
When Pettit scored the goal, the other players off the field became even more excited, and some even went too far, jumping around like a rabbit on the sidelines.
At this time, only Kobe and Coach Greg are exceptions. The two of them seem to focus not on whether to score the ball or not, but to watch quietly, how Su Hu will respond to the next ball.
At this time, Su Hu also put away the relaxed smile just now, and his expression became serious, even cold.
"Hey new guy, you know, it's usually just a joke."
Pettit spread his hands and passed the basketball to Su Hu who was on the tee point.
But this time, Su Hu didn't show any expression, he just took the basketball.
The current Su Hu, it can be said, has abandoned all distracting thoughts, and only the opponent and the final basket are in his eyes.
