What? The trainer is warming up.
Chapter 41 Coach McKinnon's Test!
Before we knew it, the third quarter was over.
The Energy team maintained their advantage in this quarter, taking the lead and putting them 4 points ahead of the Pentium team!
Several players from the Energy team came to the sidelines, all with smiles on their faces, except for Carroll, whose expression was serious and unsmiling. He said, "Coach, they'll probably bring that number 7 back on later. Should we try double-teaming him?"
"Double-team?" The head coach scoffed. "No need. He's just a rookie. He was just on fire in the first half, but he didn't score much in the third quarter. There's no need to double-team him."
He looked at Carroll and sensed that Carroll was terrified of that number 7.
"Carroll," he comforted her, "Don't worry, even if they switch to that number 7, it won't make much of a difference."
"Okay. I just think Taylor will definitely stay on the bench for the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, and maybe we should..." Carroll didn't finish his sentence.
The coach has already said that, what else can he say?
......
Soon, the fourth quarter began.
On the Benteng team's side.
Coach McKinnon waved his hand and sent Qin Yu onto the field, along with Smith, Anbres, Karl, and substitute center Alred.
After a few players took to the field, assistant coach Mike approached coach McKinnon and whispered, "Coach, isn't this lineup a bit inappropriate?"
"Mike, I understand what you mean." Coach McKinnon smiled calmly. "You think that Qin, Smith, and Umbres might have some conflicts because of the time conflict last time, which would be detrimental to team unity, and playing them together might cause trouble, right?"
"Yes," Mike nodded.
This kind of thing has happened before during internal scrimmages.
Coach McKinnon narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them: "Hmph, I want to see if they can recognize the situation. If they can, I can give them a chance. If they remain stubborn, heh..."
Mike certainly understood what that "hehe" meant.
Actually, there's something else Coach McKinnon didn't say: "This is also a test for Qin Yu. If Qin Yu's performance in the first half was just a flash in the pan, then he will consider his performance more carefully in subsequent games and won't be in a hurry to use Qin Yu extensively."
Of course, if Qin Yu continues to perform well in the fourth quarter, then the next step should be to resolve the conflict between the three.
What, you're saying conflicts are hard to resolve?
Then I'll take care of the person, okay?
......
The fourth quarter begins.
The Ben Teng team fielded Karl, Smith, Qin Yu, Anbres, and McKenzie, a somewhat odd lineup that drew frowns and complaints from fans.
The players on the other side of the Energy team exchanged glances and smiled, realizing that their opponents had made a foolish move.
Haha, that's even better!
The Energy team has possession of the ball.
Of the starters, only Carroll and power forward Martin were on the court; the other three were substitutes: center Conor Archie, guard Osius Jeffers, and guard Justin Bowen.
Bowen was responsible for dribbling the ball up the court. After setting a screen, he passed the ball back to Archie...
A series of tactical plays culminated in Carroll receiving the ball. Carroll immediately broke through, actively seeking physical contact with Qin Yu, bumping into him, and then jumped up to score with a layup.
"nice shot!"
"Carroll finally scored."
On the bench, the Energy team players cheered.
......
Turning around, the Ben Teng team launched an attack.
Karl dribbled the ball up the court and immediately looked at Qin Yu, only to see Carroll clinging to Qin Yu like glue, waving his arms back and forth, trying to prevent Qin Yu from receiving the ball. Karl frowned slightly, abandoned the idea of passing the ball to Qin Yu, and instead passed it to Smith.
Smith called for a screen, used it to break through, and then stopped abruptly to shoot. The basketball bounced on the rim but still fell into the net.
"YES!"
Smith excitedly clenched his fist. Damn, he finally scored!
After that basket, everyone thought Smith would monopolize the ball and continue his one-on-one play, as before. But on the second basket, he proactively passed the ball after a drive. After passing, he turned to look at Coach McKinnon on the sidelines and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Coach McKinnon nod slightly.
Of course, the ball was passed to McKenzie.
He would never pass the ball to Qin Yu, even though it seems that Qin Yu might take the position from him, rather than him, and it could be Ambrose.
I can gloat, but I can't let go of my grudges!
Qin Yu didn't care. He hadn't expected the "hidden penis" villain to change anything. He roamed outside the three-point line, reading the defense and looking for opportunities.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, McKenzie hooked his hand and struck the iron.
Several players huddled together, but unexpectedly, the basketball flew a long way, heading straight for Karl. Karl's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball changed its trajectory, flying towards Qin Yu.
"You little rascal." Qin Yu smiled at Karl, grabbed the basketball, bent his knees, raised it, and made a shooting fake.
"It's fake!" Carol wasn't stupid.
As expected, Qin Yu didn't shoot, but instead lowered his center of gravity to break through. Carroll sneered and quickly retreated and moved sideways, trying to block his position.
But then he was astonished to find that Qin Yu's speed seemed to have increased even more than before. Before he could even get into position, Qin Yu had already darted past him.
The next moment, Qin Yu jumped up and flicked his wrist!
"Whoosh!"
Goal!
The home fans cheered, and Coach McKinnon applauded from the sidelines. This was the effect he wanted to see: Qin Yu could still score, and he was still so accurate.
The ball went in, and Qin Yu turned to retreat on defense. Carroll frowned, "Am I hallucinating? Why does it feel like his speed has suddenly increased?"
He soon realized that it was not an illusion!
Only two rounds later, Qin Yu made his move again.
He first strolled around the three-point line, then suddenly made a reverse run at high speed, instantly shaking off Carroll, receiving the ball at the top of the arc, jumping up, and shooting a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
It's a pity that the ball didn't go in.
However, Carroll was certain that Qin Yu was faster than before. But what was going on? Shouldn't his speed have slowed down in the fourth quarter, given his declining stamina?
The answer is that Qin Yu increased his speed!
All 13.5 points were added to speed!
This made him much faster than before, and he was no longer afraid of Carroll's "sticky defense," able to use his speed to get rid of him.
And just moments later, Qin Yu used a cut to penetrate the paint, received a pass from his teammate, and made a floater to score two more points.
With this goal, his personal score has reached 29 points, and he has gained 2 more points in the points column.
"System, add points!"
Without hesitation, they increased the speed.
Seeing that his speed was still C-level, Qin Yu was not disappointed. Even though he hadn't been able to advance, he could still feel the effect of the extra points.
