New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 72 Viking Edition Bad Boy Legion
Before the game started, Riley, the core of the Viking King, approached Xiao Yi and said coldly, "You are my idol!"

Before Zhang Yi could say thank you, he was interrupted by his next words, "After I say this, you shouldn't feel ashamed when you lose to me!"

Facing this blunt and somewhat obnoxious young man with a European face, Zhang Yi showed an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Viking? Are you Swedish?" Zhang Yi asked casually.The other party stopped and turned back and replied arrogantly, "Viking is a symbol, stupid people would say that Viking represents Sweden, but I am indeed Swedish..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi really couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that the child would be beaten to death if he went out.

Riley is the double most valuable player of the European Junior Basketball Championship and the European and American Junior Streetball Tournament.

And because of his super sense of the ball and the brutal style of play that does not match his age, he is regarded as a Viking with the hand of God.

This Viking King team is the new bad boy army specially built around Riley by the European Super Basketball Federation studio.

The center is Bill Laimbeer, known as the 'demon', and his ability ranks 45th among the centers.

The power forward is Rick Mahon, ranked 38th in ability; the shooting guard is 'Smiling Assassin' Isaac Thomas, 23rd in the Super League.

The above three were all members of the Pistons Bad Boys back then.The main controller is John Stockton, one of the 'Utah Shuangsha', ranking 17th.

Coupled with the rookie small forward Riley, the Viking Kings team quickly reached the sixth position of the team relying entirely on the middle and lower players, playing a relatively perfect team basketball!

At the beginning of the game, the center forwards of the two teams jumped the ball. Yao took off at the best moment and dialed the basketball. On the contrary, Lambiel did not move at all.

"What is Lambiel thinking? It's not good news for a center forward to give up the ball at the beginning!"

While explaining, the host paid attention to the support rate of both sides in the live broadcast room, because he could only lean towards the team with higher support rate.

Dayao gave the basketball point to Curry, and the Dragons attacked first!
"Accident? I just want you to jump to the ball...Come on, I will make you dare not enter the penalty area even if you get the ball..."

Lambiel kept talking trash beside Dayao, but the latter showed the calmness of the Eastern players.

Facing Stockton, who is good at steals, he dare not neglect his dribbling. Although his speed and shooting ability are superior, Curry still chooses to organize first.

Because Riley is very strong, Xiaoyi who is fighting against him may not be able to take advantage of it, so after he played a pick-and-roll with Sakuragi, he saw Jordan go down, and immediately passed the ball to the shooting guard...

Thomas always guarded Jordan, but when he got the basketball, his opponent immediately pulled out his hand. The basketball was a bit short but he still hit the basket.

"When did Jordan rely on luck to play?" Thomas raised his hands and bumped Jordan's waist, his words were also full of provocation.

"Stop talking nonsense, let the horse come if you have the guts!" Jordan responded forcefully.

When returning to defense, Lambiel also deliberately accelerated and bumped into Dayao's shoulder, and said to him with a displeased face, "Big man, can you run faster?"

Only then did Dayao frowned, while Lambiel pretended to be indifferent and whistled.

Not only did the two pairs of matchups spark, but the Viking King's tactic was to first disintegrate the opponent's fighting spirit through provocation.

In the entire team league, they may be the only team that doesn't expect to win offensively.

In the offensive round, Stockton showed his strong organizational skills. Because of his needle-threading skills, Thomas got a three-pointer and made a steady hit.

After the goal, he didn't go back to the defense directly but waited for Jordan to say to him, "I let the horse come over, do you have a response?"

Little Curry naturally also heard this sentence. He and Jordan looked at each other, subconsciously revealing his tendency to pass the ball.

In this round, he still looked for Jordan. Of course, Stockton would not let go of the opportunity. He predicted the passing route in advance and succeeded in stealing the ball.

Although the Viking Kings don't play fast breaks, it doesn't help that Curry's desperate counter-robbery doesn't help.

In terms of Stockton's ball-handling skills alone, he has indeed pulled him by several orders of magnitude, and he dribbled the ball steadily across the half.

The most exasperating thing is that you know he will be passed to the Smiling Assassin, but you just can't snatch it away.

Facing Jordan who was defending him, Thomas showed his signature smile. A shot fake didn’t shake the defender. He immediately changed direction and walked inside, pulling a jumper near the free throw line. This is Jordan’s favorite technique... …

After hitting the ball, he stuck out his long pink tongue at Jordan with a smug look on his face.

Faced with constant provocations, Jordan tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Until the next round, when he got the ball and was about to break through, Mark cooperated with Thomas and knocked him down forcefully, which made him completely angry!
Although the referee blew his whistle in time to interrupt the game, the two sides continued to scold each other.

The team game of the Super Basketball League is not like a realistic whole game. There are fouls and free throws, but this is not advocated by the league, so the referee did not force the game to be terminated.

The non-stop game time is also a unique rule of the team game, just like football, but there is no stoppage time.

Jordan roared and threw the basketball on the opponent, but Thomas flicked the ball to Stockton.

What he didn't expect was that the Viking Kings launched an attack directly regardless of Thomas and Jordan.

Only Zhang Yi and Xiao Curry made a return visit on Team Dragon's side, while Dayao and Yingmu still foolishly tried to persuade them to fight.

In a three-on-two situation, Stockton passed the basketball to Mahon, who caused the accident but seemed to be attacking from an outsider, and the latter used a low crotch pass to Riley.

Zhang Yi retreated quickly, but in the face of a series of passes, he didn't have a double body, and Curry was brought down by Stockton's inconspicuous stretch...

Riley and Ma Hong took off together. Zhang Yi judged that Riley was the last attacking executor, so he jumped up with all his strength to block.

During the aerial confrontation, Riley, who was thin and not tall, burst out with unimaginable brute force, even Zhang Yi, who was as strong as Zhang Yi, couldn't bear it.

Riley did not dunk, but chose to hit the board, which also shows that he is not a hot-headed energy block player. Under his rude appearance, this person plays very pragmatically.

It is difficult for a genius to succeed, but it is easier for a diligent person to become a talent. This is the eternal law in the basketball world.

It's Riley's perpetual physical gifts, combined with his outspoken personality, that set him apart from both the real basketball world and the Super League.

Compared with the genius "Oriental Cooking God" Xiao Yi, Riley is actually more like an ordinary person, which is why he is so popular now.

Although the score was not widened by much, but because of Jordan's emotions, the overall momentum of the dragon team was greatly reduced.

Thomas is still smiling. Although his smile is ugly now, it also shows that the tactics of the Viking Kings have succeeded...

"Calm down!" Zhang Yi dribbled the ball halfway and patted Jordan on the shoulder, only to see that the opponent's defense was still like an iron bucket.

Curry tried his best to get three-point opportunities from Stockton's defense, Sakuragi was also struggling with Mahon, and both Dayao and Lambiel had reached the point of hugging, not to mention.

This game is tough.This idea came to Zhang Yi's mind for the first time, because Riley's defensive quality was better than any opponent he faced in the game!
