Champion Rules

Chapter 6 006: The Behemoth is Dead (Please Read!)

"That bastard said he could guard one more person, right? Damn it!"

Alexander Gaichi couldn't believe his ears. He thought he must have heard it wrong.

As members of the U18 national team, he and Sekulic are players who can rely on their individual strength to change the situation in any game at the youth team level.

This is also the biggest difference between basketball stars and stars in other sports.

Unlike star quarterbacks, they don't need a strong offensive team or outstanding wide receivers.

It's not like an ace pitcher on the baseball field who doesn't need outfielders to back him up.

Basketball stars are self-sufficient individuals who can change the fate of a team on their own.

And there are two such people among the guerrillas.

But now, that damn No. 10 actually said casually that while he was defending Gajić and Sekulic, he could also defend one more person!

Sekulichi glanced at Lynch angrily: "Don't pay attention to what that idiot said, he's just bluffing."

In the stands, a scout with a mustache began to rummage through a thick stack of information in his hand, trying to find information about the number 10.

In this era without tablets and smartphones, every scout carries a lot of information with them to ensure they can access it at any time.

But after looking through the information in his hand, the mustache scout was surprised to find that he had no information about No. 10.

According to his profile, the number 10 for the FMP youth team should be Luka Modric. But it was obvious that the number and the player on the field did not match at all.

The game was about to start again, and the mustache scout had no choice but to put down the information and continue to focus on the court.

The guerrillas kicked the ball out of the baseline and passed it directly to Alexander Gajic outside the three-point line.

Gajic did not play Theo alone again, but called for a pick-and-roll.

He is not a fool. He knows that No. 10 is responsible for protecting Theo today, so playing against Theo in singles is no longer a piece of cake.

Faced with the screen set up by Sekulic, Theo had no way to stop him and was easily gotten rid of.

Luka Modric could only switch defense to Gajic.

Gajic flicked the ball with his fingertips and fed it to Sekulic who had seized the opportunity and was running down the court.

But the No. 10 reappeared like a ghost. Sekulic had just seen the bounce of No. 10, so he did not choose to challenge him head-on.

He slowed down, turned around, and prepared to use his back to the basket and his weight to eat Lynch alive.

With the help of Boshko, Lynch has begun to gain weight in a planned way. But this is bound to be a long process, and Lynch still does not have the physique to handle the heavy center.

Lynch tried to resist Sekulic forcefully, but although he was resolute enough, he was still bounced away.

"Did I offend you? What did you eat to grow up?!"

Sekulic ignored Lynch's incomprehensible mumbling. As a dominance under the basket who was used to being domineering at the same level, he would never choose to swallow his anger after being blocked.

"what!!!"

Sekulic couldn't help but shout, and suddenly jumped up and dunked with one hand. He likes dunking more than most European insiders, which is why he is so intimidating.

But the tall center who was eager to regain his face was disappointed again.

After being pushed away, Lynch immediately flew forward and his dunk arc intersected with Sekulic's in the air.

The dull sound of the violent collision seemed to shake the entire stadium.

What greeted him was not a smooth slam dunk, but another powerful block from No. 10!
Lynch defeated the U18 national team champion center for the second consecutive round!
In the stands, fans and scouts began to talk.

"What the hell!"

"Can someone measure how high he can jump? It's over 100 centimeters!?"

"Is he fearless? No one dares to confront Blagota head-on like this!"

"Who the hell is this number 10?"

"A Chinese guy? Are you kidding me?"

"Why did he have so few appearances before?"

Questions, countless questions.

Lynch successfully attracted everyone's attention with his raw talent. In basketball, talent cannot be hidden. People may not be able to tell whether a player is doing the right thing, but they can definitely tell how high a player jumps or how fast he runs.

It’s like a passerby can’t tell whether a model’s catwalk is good or not, but can tell whether her breasts are big or not, and whether her legs are long or not.

The biggest fear for a scout is knowing nothing about a talented player in front of him.

The mustache scout also turned around and asked a colleague he knew well: "Nikola, what do you know about that number 10?"

The scout named Nicholas shook his head.

The mustache man's eyes were full of suspicion: "Hey, don't hide it. I was the one who gave you the information about Theo, and you just bought me a drink!"

Nikolay spread his hands innocently: "I really don't have any information about number 10. You should ask Vladimir."

"Vladimir, what about you?" The man with a mustache changed the target of his inquiry.

The scout named Vladimir also shook his head.

The scout with the mustache then asked other scouts and asked a whole circle of questions.

In the end, he got the most shocking answer ever: with so many professionals here, no one knew the No. 10 whose talent was obvious to the naked eye!
Logically speaking, players who have reached this level, just one step away from the first team, should already be familiar to scouts.

But this number 10 seemed to appear out of thin air.

I didn't even see anyone who looked like his family standing up to cheer for him.

The battle on the court continued. After receiving the blocked shot, Teodosic quickly counterattacked and assisted his teammate with a long-distance ground ball in the crowd for an easy layup. Each of his assists was an art of deconstructing space. On the defensive end, Teodosic might be a loophole, but on the offensive end, his talent was enough to make all basketball lovers stand up and pay tribute.

But at this time, no one cared about Theo's pass.

The duel that originally belonged to Theo and Gajic turned into a duel between Lynch and Sekulic.

Everyone is curious about when Sekulic will score a goal and how many times Lynch can defend him.

On this night, Teodosic was completely overshadowed by Lynch.

I saw Lynch blocked Sekulic again and the ball was taken away from him. No, Luka, who gave up his number, has become Lynch's little fan.

"how did you do that!?"

"That guy is very strong, but don't be afraid of him. Remember, when defending against an opponent who is bigger than you, there are three words: contact, neutralize, and then explode again.

In Chinese, we call this "jie hua fa". If you learn jie hua fa well, you won't be afraid to travel the world.

Luca didn't quite understand, but was deeply shocked.

The humiliated Sekulic almost lost his mind. Not only in Serbia, but also in the entire European youth basketball world, there are few opponents for him.

If it weren't for the damn Darko Milicic, he would have been the most highly-anticipated talented inside player in all of Serbia.

As a result, an unknown No. 10 has now embarrassed him so much.

In the following games, Sekulic began to constantly fight for position, hoping to regain his dominance in the low post.

But a few minutes later, the commentator was recounting the behemoth's shameful experience.

"Seven post-ups, five blocked shots, and two forced pass turnovers due to Lynch's timely double-teaming. I couldn't believe it, I really couldn't believe it, Blagota was completely frozen, this had never happened before!"

With Lynch's excellent defense and Sekulic's completely irrational impulse, the gap was gradually widened.

FMP crushed the traditional wealthy guerrillas.

Boshko happily took out a comb and fiddled with a few hairs on his head.

If I can cultivate both Theo and Lynch at the same time, how far will it be for me to get a promotion and a raise?

But most scouts have discovered a problem so far in the game - Lynch has hardly shown any technical skills.

He hardly ever held the ball, never played in the low post, and never took a single shot outside the restricted area.

He was like a ferocious beast, relying purely on physical instinct to play. Apart from cutting into the basket, he had basically no other offensive methods.

In Europe, this is quite unusual.

Which big guy who comes from European youth training doesn’t have some back-to-the-basket footwork and delicate handwork?
Look at Toni Kukoc and Vlade Divac. This is what Europeans think a "top inside player" should look like.

Those scouts, who had long been influenced by the gorgeous low-post dance moves, were now stunned by Lynch's unparalleled raw impact.

Could he have something else?

Finally, with three minutes left in the game, curious scouts got a chance to see if Lynch had any other skills.

In this round, Teodosic missed the quick stop jump shot after the pick-and-roll. Lynch, as usual, used his elbows and butt to squeeze out Sekulic, who was clearly in a good position, and grabbed the offensive rebound with a small advantage.

This was Lynch's sixth offensive rebound of the game. The first five times, he immediately passed the ball back to Teodosic. But this time, Gajic stayed in front of Teodosic and cut off the passing lane.

The same was true for the rest of the guerrilla team, who cut off all passing lanes and forced Lynch into a one-on-one situation with Sekulic in the low post.

While the Balkans were looking forward to witnessing the handover of the point guard god's scepter, the spotlight of history was focused obsessively on the Eastern ghost who stepped on the red line of the restricted area and played with the 213-centimeter giant like a toy.

What would he do?

Can he single-handedly beat Sekulic?
Sekulic raised his arms as high as possible, while Lynch held the ball with his back to the basket and turned to shoot a hook shot.

At that moment, the scouts in the stands all widened their eyes.

They couldn't believe it. Is that a fucking grenade?

There is actually such a ridiculously off hook in this world!?

Boshko also took the comb off his head and said, "Asshole, this is not what I taught you!"
Talk about promotion and salary increase, but when you are interviewed later, just don’t say that this technology was taught by your teacher!
Sekulic was so angry that he laughed. This bastard couldn't even shoot a hook shot and had no skills at all. And he was suppressed by this guy who couldn't play basketball at all for the whole night!

Everyone thought this was Lynch's "Waterloo moment", but when the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back, Lynch overtook Sekulic, grabbed the ball first, and pressed it back into the basket!

Sekulic will probably only be able to find this kind of push-back feeling in Chengdu in the future.

From the start, this wasn't a hook shot at all. Lynch was just trying to slam the ball against the backboard for a putback dunk, that's all.

This was the style of play that Moses Malone used to play, but now it belongs to Lynch.

Lynch hung on the basket with one arm, and under his crotch was the former pride of Serbia.

这记补扣后，林奇全场已经拿下21分18个篮板8次封盖，而塞库利奇只有6分5个篮板入账。

Of course, you can't say that Sekulic is useless.

At least he put on a Tim Duncan-level performance in terms of being blocked tonight.

There was no suspense in the game. The mysterious No. 10 destroyed everything and the behemoth was dead.

The scout with the mustache picked up his phone, typed a text message and sent it out immediately.

"There's a kid here who looks terrible, but also incredibly attractive. I don't know if I want to hug him or beat him up. He has the best physical tools and can hold up a defense by himself, but his offensive skills are a mess. I think you have to see his game tape in person. He's the only one whose future I can't predict."

The text message was sent to a guy named Misko Raznatovic, the most influential professional agent in the European basketball industry.

Lynch's goal was achieved, and his fame was about to spread throughout the Balkan Peninsula and then across the ocean.
