Chereads / Basketball: The Dreamer / Chapter 11 - New Task & New Tactics

Chapter 11 - New Task & New Tactics

At night, after the celebration, Luke sat on the sofa and chatted with Jonas about some interesting things about school. It was getting late, so everyone should go wash up and sleep. At this time, Uncle Andres reminded him.

Lying in bed, I set the alarm clock for 4:30 and was about to fall asleep when I heard an emotional voice in my head.

"Release system tasks! Tennessee Streetball Dominators."

**Mission conditions:** The host needs to win 100 games on the street court within 5 days without ever losing.

**Mission reward:** Reward the host player mall with a free draw for 50-59 ability points.

"I'm sorry, streetball has no challenge. I win an average of 20 rounds of streetball every day. As a result, you reward me for such a task. I protest to you on behalf of the streetball community."

"Host, because of the basketball atmosphere in Tennessee, is ranked in the lower reaches of all states in the United States. If the host is in Indiana, Los Angeles, New York...the basketball atmosphere is very strong, and it is even called the Holy Land of Basketball."

"Completing the system tasks of Streetball Overlord will naturally have different reward values. Of course, the system tasks at that time will not be just winning a hundred games. The platform is different, the rewards will be different, and the requirements will naturally be different."

"Fine! You have successfully convinced me. I give you a thumbs up for your eloquence."

"Thank you host for the compliment. Solving your problems is what this system should do."

"....."

"Damn it! How come this is creating a sense of superiority? How did you know that I was praising you?."

Go to sleep, don't talk to this idiot any more, otherwise Luke can't help but spit out sweet things.

*Ding, ding, ding*, as the alarm bell set last night rang, Luke reluctantly left the bed, turned off the alarm, and simply washed up, then packed up his equipment with a look of absolute determination, took a long breath, and set off to the destination street court.

Then Luke ran fast and reached his destination in less than ten minutes. Was it because something was urgent?

No, it's not, it's because Luke wants to improve his speed talent as soon as possible. Now, because others don't understand his own characteristics, he can fool around and use his advantage of being a tall point guard to play.

But as a point guard, once people discover your speed disadvantage, they will continue to attack you. Even if you predict it in advance, but your body function cannot keep up, others will still think that you are a defensive liable, allowing the opponent to target you in the game.

Therefore, Luke got up early to practice speed in order to eliminate this disadvantage in advance.

Just like this, an hour passed. When no one was around, Luke practiced short-distance sprinting. When there were others, he would play games with others, so that his training would not be boring and he could smoothly carry out system tasks.

After returning home and having breakfast, Luke came to the school court and started a new day of warm-up training under the organization of the coach. Luke, after asking the coach for instructions, added speed training to him alone.

Then under the organization of the coach, a 5v5 half-time intra-team match was started. This time was different from the last time. The score was not important, the main thing was the running-in of tactics.

Based on the performance of the players on the field, the coach on the sidelines has already seen that the tacit understanding of the iron triangle of Luke, John, and Wilson is obviously better in the team.

The coach watched for a while and already had an idea about the tactics in his mind. The first one was to focus on the outside and assist on the inside.

Luke held the ball at the top of the arc, then Wilson gave John an off-ball pick-and-roll, and Jones made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Prince. At this time, John and Prince moved from the bottom corners on both sides to 45° on both sides.

Jones and Wilson are different. Wilson always picks and rolls, trying to give John a chance to run out of space. Jones' height has a speed advantage in offense, so Jones only does a pick-and-roll, and then makes a cut without the ball, so whose If the opportunity is better, Luke will pass it to whomever.

This will basically be the team's main tactic in the future. The main purpose is to take advantage of Jones' physical advantage and rely on speed to score goals at the beginning.

In this way, the opponent will face two attack points, one inside and one outside. In this way, the opponent will basically focus their defense on Jones.

After all, outside offense has a hit rate, and today's NBA, except for the Suns, which focuses on three-pointers, other teams still believe that the closer to the basket, the greater the chance of scoring.

However, if the defensive focus is on Jones, Prince will be liberated. After all, he is not a novice like John. As a senior in high school, he has a sense of movement without the ball that John does not have. Moreover, he is the team's most accurate presence.

In this way, plus Luke himself, there will be three musketeers on the outside. For example, if the person defending Luke attacks the other two, wouldn't he be released?

Then the No. 2 tactic is a connection between point guard position and center position . Luke holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Wilson comes up to do the pick-and-roll.

If the opposing center doesn't catch up, Luke can choose a three-pointer directly after the pick-and-roll or a mid-range jumper.

If the opposing center catches up, then Luke after switching defenses will directly form a mismatch and become a small fight against a big one.

At this time, Luke can choose to break through and layup, or he can choose to pass to Wilson.

Even if the tacit understanding is better, Luke can directly give an alley-oop, which will improve morale.

The third tactic is a 3-point tactic, run-and-gun. This tactic is easy to say and difficult to execute. The core of the tactic is the point guard and a group of shooters.

So it means that the stronger the point guard in this tactic is, the stronger the run and gun will be. Originally, the coach wanted to use run and gun as the team's main tactic, but this tactic consumes too much physical energy of the point guard, so in the end, he can only reduce it to the third tactic.

The fourth tactic is the most special tactic. The coach calls it "Captain's Moment."

Even in the team's last two minutes, when the score was still deadlocked, it was up to Luke Almasin to decide whether to use tactics or to throw the ball by himself.

Everyone was stunned when this tactic came out. Even Luke himself didn't expect that the coach would give him such power. When the time came, the life and death of the team would be in Luke's hands.

But looking at the coach's expectant eyes, Luke became firm. He knew that the coach was telling him in disguise.

It's true that basketball is a team sport, but at the last moment, when no one dares to take responsibility, you should do it yourself, just because you are the captain and that's what you do.

In the afternoon that followed, the team spent the rest of the day adjusting and rehearsing tactics. Well, that's it for today's practice, and then there was a burst of cheers from the players.

After all, these three tactics were really boring all afternoon, and they were not like Luke's who has high basketball IQ. He had strong execution of tactics and could understand them at a glance.

Looking at the cheering team members, the coach's bad taste came from unknown sources, and his light words made the players who were cheering a second ago wail.

"Don't worry, the next month will be spent like this." Coach said.

which makes the players ask the Coach: "Coach, are you a devil?"

At this time, Luke had already dragged John and Wilson to the street court. What? You ask why John and Wilson are not tired, is it because of dreams? No, it's not.

Is it because of the love for basketball? No, that's not the case. It was because they had to come because of Luke's power as captain.

You would think that Luke was not tired after practicing all day, so he still got up early to train, but what can be done, there were too few people in the stadium in the morning, and he only played 6 games.

According to the average system task, twenty rounds are played every day, and there are still fourteen rounds left to be played.

As for why he insisted on pulling these two guys, it was mainly because Luke wanted to verify whether winning 3v3 would count as mission progress. After all, the system never said it was not allowed.

Reluctantly, John and Wilson immediately found someone to start a game. Sure enough, the system progress increased to 7%, which made Luke very happy.

Although 1v1 was faster, Luke slowly discovered that fewer and fewer people were willing to challenge him in a duel. After all, Luke had never lost a single game on the street court since he obtained the system.

This record was so horrific that even those who always mocked Luke at the time always found various excuses to avoid fighting.

This also made Luke understand what the real difficulty of this task was, and it also made Luke secretly grit his teeth.

The mission rewards were not that good, but there were quite a lot of things to do. In the end, Luke improved the mission progress to 25% before letting them go back to their respective homes to find their mothers.
