Chapter 364: The end of the first section

"Good shot! Liu Haoming is completely undefended, and he shoots from mid-distance... Oops, it's a pity I didn't make it!" the two commentators also exclaimed regretfully.

"This ball was obviously passed to Chen Nuo to the left, but it suddenly flew to the right, and Xiao Yao used his fingers behind his back to push the ball in the opposite direction?" Yu Junzhe did not immediately launch a fast break after grabbing the rebound, and the two commentators also discussed Xiao Yao's pass. Although the blue team's goal didn't score, Xiao Yao's weird pass is still worth talking about.

"No," Zhou Qun shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiao Yao's situation just now is that his right hand has been thrown out to the left, and he hasn't wrapped the basketball, so it's impossible to use his fingers to move the basketball back." The basketball hit Xiao Yao's left arm in the air and was bounced back. It's just that it was accidentally bumped into or Xiao Yao did it intentionally, I can't judge it now, let's see if there is a slow-motion replay for a while. ”

Such a good vacancy opportunity was not thrown, Liu Haoming slapped his head in annoyance, and made an apologetic gesture to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao didn't care too much, shook his head with a smile, signaled that it was okay, and ran back to the backcourt with him to defend.

Now the front court of the red team is two-on-two, with Bielsa defending Evans and Zhang Yi defending Jiang Qiao, it is difficult for the teammates in the opposing frontcourt to receive the kind of ultra-long-distance long pass that crosses the whole court, so Yu Junzhe did not launch a fast attack with a long pass, but dribbled the ball to advance normally.

The next ball, Yu Junzhe broke through and distributed the basketball to Jiang Qiao in the bottom corner, Jiang Qiao immediately transferred the ball to Evans at a 45-degree angle, Evans took a step forward to catch the ball, shook off Zhang Yi who pounced, and before Xiao Yao, who was making up for the defense, pulled up a jump shot, shot a mid-range shot, and scored two more points.

Offensive and defensive transitions. Xiao Yao, who dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, did not raise his hand again to ask his teammates to run according to the tactics, but passed the basketball to Chen Nuo, who mentioned the line to respond, and took a step to bypass Jiang Qiao, who was defending him, and rushed to the basket.

Pressed back against Xu Yue, who was defending himself, Chen Nuo threw the basketball again, and passed the basketball to Xiao Yao, who had already cut into the basket at a high speed. Judging from the front, this goal is basically a copy of the blue team's first goal score, but the online strategy was changed from Xiao Yao to Chen Nuo, and the empty cut was changed from Guo Qi to Xiao Yao after the pass. It's just that Chen Nuo didn't make a feint to pass the ball in the opposite direction before passing the ball.

This tactic has already been played once by the blue team, and it is impossible for the red team not to be careful. As soon as he saw Xiao Yao receiving the ball, Xu Yue immediately gave up Chen Nuo and pounced on Xiao Yao from the side, Evans also came from the other side more quickly to make up for the defense, and Zhuo Zhiyuan came from the bottom line position to make up for the vacated Chen Nuo.

The red team's defense speed this time was much faster than at the beginning, and as soon as Xiao Yao entered the three-second zone, he immediately fell into the bag. But Xiao Yao still jumped up, as if he was going to force a layup under the defense of the two.

Xiao Yao is not Guo Qi after all, although Evans returned to the defense in place and blocked Xiao Yao's layup line, he just raised his hands and did not jump to defend. At the same time, Evans also used the peripheral eye of his eyes to pay attention to Zhang Yi who moved from outside the three-point line to the basket on his side. When Xiao Yao went to the basket, he was facing Zhang Yi's side, and he could give the ball out in the middle of the layup at any time. At this time, everyone had already seen Xiao Yao's passing ability, and Evans did not dare to take it lightly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yao, who was jumping with the basketball in front of his chest with both hands, did not make a move in the air, but stretched out both arms to his left, as if he wanted to pass the ball to Zhang Yi, who had run to the basket on the left side. When Evans saw it, he quickly turned to the right and faced Zhang Yi under the basket.

However, Xiao Yao's outstretched hands did not push the basketball out, but bent his left arm and used his left hand to pass the basketball from the back of his head to his right.

On the right side of the basket, Liu Haoming had also run to the bottom corner of the three-second zone and just caught Xiao Yao's pass. This time, Liu Haoming, whose shooting point was closer to the basket, did not waste another opportunity, and shot the ball steadily and scored two points.

So far, the players have inevitably experienced some physical decline and lack of concentration. After Liu Haoming scored this ball, the players of the blue team did not retreat too quickly, so even though it was the bottom line serve after the opponent scored, Yu Junzhe immediately launched a fast attack after receiving the ball.

Yu Junzhe dribbled the ball and rushed forward, and the players of the blue team immediately followed the rapid retreat, and the people came back, but they didn't have time to stand in a defensive position. Yu Junzhe rushed directly to the basket with the ball and met Bielsa's defense, and immediately passed the ball to the direction of Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was already standing outside the three-point line and unguarded.

Faced with such a rare vacant opportunity, Zhuo Zhiyuan made an early action to catch the ball, and was ready to jump three points directly after receiving the ball. But before the basketball flew into his hand, a hand reached out from the spur and slapped it on the basketball. Due to the fast speed of Yu Junzhe's pass, this hand was not able to intercept the basketball, but hit the basketball outside the sideline.

Although the ball was still on the red team, it was not a successful break, but it was a successful defense for the team to win the opportunity to rearrange the defense. And it was Xiao Yao who made this successful defense.

It turned out that Xiao Yao expected that Yu Junzhe was unlikely to beat Bielsa under the basket, and Yu Junzhe guarded his pass after he started. When he saw him pass the basketball to Zhuo Zhiyuan, he immediately intercepted it in the middle. It's a pity that he defended Jiang Qiao's position far away from Zhuo Zhiyuan, even if Yu Junzhe started the basketball immediately the moment he shot it, he couldn't intercept the basketball, but could only hit the ball out.

At this time, the first quarter was almost halfway through, and taking advantage of this dead ball, the game also entered an official timeout.

Official pauses are generally reserved for advertising purposes. But after the official pause this time, the TV did not play the advertisement immediately, but played a slow-motion replay of Xiao Yao's fast-attacking ball like the big screen at the scene.

From the slow motion, it can be clearly seen that Xiao Yao's left arm has an obvious swing from left to right, which means that Xiao Yao deliberately knocked the basketball to Liu Haoming on the right. Seeing such a creative passing action, the audience also broke out into a huge cheer.

"Yo, this ball is really deliberately knocked over with the elbow of his left arm!" Zhou Qun looked at the slow-motion replay and exclaimed, "This pass is really thoughtful, young people are creative, dare to think and dare to do!"

"Is Xiao Yao creative?" He Jian also smiled, "In the first half of the game, Xiao Yao was the most prominent." The advertising time was taken up by Xiao Yao's slow-motion playback. ”

"But he is still in the limelight and has nothing to say. Zhou Qun smiled, "Now the score on the court is 11-7, and the blue team is four points ahead." Now the top scorer on the court is Evans of the red team with five points, and the top scorer for the blue team is Bielsa, which is a three-pointer with three points. But Xiao Yao got five assists alone, all of which were the same as Evans's scores, and these five assists were still given to different teammates, not even a duplicate. The red team has only two players scoring so far, while the blue team has five players scoring. At least on the blue team's side, teammates must have no opinion on Xiao Yao's way of showing off. ”

"How do you kid have such a long brain, you can think of this kind of passing action?" The benches on both sides also looked at the big screen hanging above the court at the moment, Liu Haoming rubbed Xiao Yao's hair affectionately, and then said with some regret, "It's a pity that I didn't throw that ball, otherwise it would definitely be the most exciting cooperation tonight." ”

"It's okay," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "Even if you don't throw it, isn't it the same as replaying my pass on the big screen?" It's just that you didn't put it in, and the latter part was cut off, and if you feel sorry for it, feel sorry for yourself. ”

"Hey, you kid!" Liu Haoming smiled and pointed at Xiao Yaodao.

"Five assists!" On the other side, Guo Qi pretended to be dissatisfied and said to Xiao Yao, "Are you trying to steal my point guard position?"

"I said that I play on the outside, and you have to propose to Director Wei that I play inside. Xiao Yao also smiled deliberately, "Why don't you play while you're not there, don't I have to be fixed on the inside?"

"I knew that you had this kind of passing ability, and you were so good at playing, why did I need to bother to practice that secret weapon with you?" Guo Qi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Do you still have a secret weapon?" Chen Nuo, who was sitting on the other side of Guo Qi, also leaned over and said.

"We'll find out when the time comes. Guo Qi smiled mysteriously, "You can't leak it in advance now." ”

"Cut~" Chen Nuo glanced at Guo Qi, stretched out his head and said to Xiao Yao through Guo Qi, "Xiao Yao, you have already assisted a lot, but you haven't scored a single point yet, do you want me to help you create a few opportunities for a while?"

"No," Guo Qi interjected with a smile, "Don't look at him all the time now, his scoring ability is not bad." When he switches to scoring mode to grab points with all his might, he is guaranteed to scare you as well. ”

Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and did not speak. Judging from this attitude, it is obvious that it will not be revealed.

"Okay, then I'll wait to see how you score!" Chen Nuo said deliberately angrily.

It's a pity that Chen Nuo's wish can't be realized for the time being. After this timeout, the two teams made another substitution.

Xiao Yao, Zhang Yi and Bielsa of the blue team were all replaced, and Guo Qi and the other two players who did not appear in the game, Lu Cheng and Zhang Chao, were replaced. The red team replaced Evans, Yu Junzhe and Jiang Qiao, leaving Zhuo Zhiyuan and Xu Yue, who was later replaced, on the field.

In the following period, the shooting percentage of players on both teams declined to varying degrees, and the excitement of the game also decreased to a certain extent compared with the first half of the quarter. However, with the score behind, the players on the red team played significantly more aggressively and aggressively. Therefore, although the excitement of the game has decreased a little, the intensity has increased to a certain extent.

On the offensive side, because of Yu Junzhe's departure, Zhuo Zhiyuan became the main offensive point of the red team and gained more possession. Several decisive pull-up jumpers from mid-to-long range showed his superior offense**. In addition, he also had a few strong penetrations on the inside, facing Guo Qi's forced layups. Although only one goal was scored in the face of Guo Qi's three shots, this courage also won a round of applause from the audience, and even caused fans to scream again and again.

On the defensive end, Zhuo Zhiyuan's performance was also eye-catching. He gave his second and third blocks of the game, one of which was to cover Miao Cheng's mid-range shot, and the other was to slap the blue team player Lu Cheng's fast-break layup from behind. It also caused exclamations and screams from the scene.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, the red team, who was trying to chase the score, replaced Evans, and the blue team also replaced Bielsa.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Evans, who was behind the score of the team, played more seriously than Bielsa, which was reflected in the fact that he took more shots than Bielsa, and further led Bielsa in individual scoring.

Throughout the second half of the first quarter, Xiao Yao sat on the bench and was not replaced by head coach Wei Zhiping again. Especially in the timeout with two minutes left in the first quarter, Wei Zhiping replaced Chen Nuo and Liu Haoming, and replaced Bielsa but did not replace Xiao Yao, who was off the break at the same time as Biersa, but replaced Miao Cheng, and there was a burst of boos in the audience.

In the face of this boo, the camera at the scene keenly captured Wei Zhiping leaning over with a wry smile and talking to Xiao Yao who was sitting on the bench, as if he was complaining that Xiao Yao caused him to be booed by the audience.

In this regard, the two commentators also ridiculed.

"We heard a burst of boos at the scene, and it should be that the audience at the scene expressed their dissatisfaction with Director Wei not replacing Xiao Yao. He Jian said with a smile, "I didn't expect Coach Wei to be booed by the audience one day, whether he was a player or a coach before, he should have never experienced it." ”

"Actually, I can also understand the audience at the scene, and I think many viewers in front of the TV should be the same. Zhou Qun also smiled and said, "Xiao Yao is famous, and the ball is played well, if I am a spectator, I also want to see Xiao Yao play." ”

"But we also have to believe that Director Wei must have his reasons for such an arrangement. He Jian helped Wei Zhiping speak, "Although Xiao Yao and Bilsa are off the court together and have rested for the same long time, at least from the performance in the first half of the first quarter, Xiao Yao has played a point guard for a long time, and he has been attacking too fast with the ball, his physical consumption must be a lot more than that of Bilsa, let him rest for a while, and ensure that he has enough physical energy to play in the later games is also a more reasonable arrangement." ”

Of course, this is for the audience. He Jian's real thoughts are that this is an exhibition match, and it won't be interesting if he opens up the score gap early and makes the game lose suspense. Although Xiao Yao played a lot of tricks and looked casual, it could be seen from his serious command of his teammates that he was actually playing very seriously. The reason why Wei Zhiping didn't let Xiao Yao go on was to give the red team a chance to chase the score.

The split between the two teams at the end of the first quarter seemed to confirm He Jian's speculation. The red team tied the score at 16-17 and ended the first quarter by a narrow margin of just one point behind the blue team.
