Chapter 368: The Way and Consequences of Scoring
The tactics of the BLU side have not changed much, but the tactics of the RED team have changed a lot. When Xiao Yao dribbled to the half of the red team, he found that the red team did not play joint defense, but played a man-to-man tactic. Evans is against Bilsa, Yu Junzhe is against Guo Qi, Xu Yue is against Chen Nuo, Feng Chengzhi is against Liu Haoming, and it is Zhuo Zhiyuan who stands in front of him to defend himself.
As soon as Xiao Yao's left arm was raised, Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately stuck to it, and stretched out a hand to block it in front of Xiao Yao. As soon as the other players of the blue team moved, the defenders of the red team also immediately pasted up, delaying the off-ball running of their respective targets, and their eyes were still paying attention to Xiao Yao who was holding the ball. Xiao Yao scored nine assists in the first half, and those unbelievable passes made the red team hesitate, obviously strengthening the defense of the blue team's off-ball running in the second half, paying attention to the interference of Xiao Yao's passing line.
Passing the ball directly to his teammates seemed to have no chance, Xiao Yao took a step back from dribbling, and after opening up the distance between him and Zhuo Zhiyuan, he immediately dribbled the ball to his right hand. On the basketball court, no matter how tight the defense is, it is impossible for the opponent to stand still and completely still. On Xiao Yao's right hand, Chen Nuo was approaching Xiao Yao under Xu Yue's defense. Xiao Yao took the initiative to greet him, sticking to Chen Nuo's side and staggered past him. also borrowed Chen Nuo's body to block Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was defending himself, behind him.
For the blocking and dismantling cover that Xiao Yao actively sought this time, the red team made a substitution defense very quickly. Seeing that Zhuo Zhiyuan was blocked by Chen Nuo, Xu Yue immediately threw down Chen Nuo, switched to Xiao Yao's side, and stood in a defensive position. Zhuo Zhiyuan on that side also quickly moved a step to the left, standing in the middle of Chen Nuo and the basket while stretching out his left hand, interfering with Xiao Yao's possible pass to Chen Nuo after blocking and dismantling.
Xiao Yao really wanted to play a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Chen Nuo. After switching the defender, Xiao Yao's arm immediately swung out to the left, intending to pass the ball to Chen Nuo. But after seeing Zhuo Zhiyuan's defense, Xiao Yao, who had almost straightened his arm, pressed down with his palm before the basketball left his hand, smashing the basketball that was originally going to pass to Chen Nuo to the floor. Then, Xiao Yao immediately stretched out his left hand to catch the basketball that bounced off the floor, and regained control of the basketball on his right hand through a crotch dribble.
If there is no chance to pass the ball, you can only face Xu Yue's defense. Xiao Yao, who dribbled, lowered his center of gravity, and Xu Yue also lowered his center of gravity, and at the same time raised a hand to guard against Xiao Yao's shot.
Xiao Yao suddenly stood up straight, looked at Xu Yue with a surprised expression, "Sister Xu Yue, why did you spend your lipstick?" As he spoke, Xiao Yao also stretched out his left hand and pointed to his lips.
"Huh?" Xu Yue relaxed his body, reached out and wiped it under his lower lip, and the raised hand unconsciously let go.
As soon as Xiao Yao saw Xu Yue's hand put down, he immediately jumped up with the basketball and shot a mid-distance jumper. The basketball falls accurately into the hoop and hollows into the net.
βyes!β This is the first time Xiao Yao has scored in this game. After the shot, Xiao Yao also clenched his fists and shouted.
Xu Yue didn't react much to Xiao Yao's score, but grabbed Chen Nuo, who was about to retreat, pointed to his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Nuo Nuo, has my lipstick spent?"
Because it was an exhibition match, the two good-looking female players both wore makeup before the game. This game is broadcast on TV, if you run on the field with the makeup you spent, it will be to show your ugly appearance in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, for girls who love beauty, this is unacceptable in any case, so when Xu Yue heard Xiao Yao say that the makeup on his face was spent, he was very nervous, and he couldn't even take care of Xiao Yao's defense.
"No!" Chen Nuo shook his head suspiciously, "Your face has never been touched by someone else's hand or ball, and the makeup artist who made up with us is also very particular about the cosmetics we used to take into account the situation of our play, how can the lipstick be spent?"
"But what did Xiao Yao say that my lipstick was spent?" Xu Yue stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao suspiciously, then reacted, and shouted at Xiao Yao angrily, "Good boy, you lied to me!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yao, who had just finished the celebration, heard Xu Yue's angry shout, shrunk his neck, and hurriedly ran back to his own half.
"Ha!" Chen Nuo instantly understood what was going on, and couldn't stop laughing, "Who let your team's Evans just want to deceive him and scare him!"
"What does Evans have to do with me lying to him? I didn't let Evans go!" Xu Yue said angrily, "This kid makes fun of me, I can't spare him!"
"Xiao Yao hits!" He Jian, the commentator, said loudly, "This is the first time Xiao Yao has scored points in the second half, and it is also the first time he has scored points in the whole game." After missing all four shots in the first half, Xiao Yao finally opened his scoring account in the second half. β
"But Xu Yue's defense is very strange this time, and he gave up the defense for some reason. Zhou Qun said a little strangely, "Even if you don't want to go all out in the face of Xiao Yao, an amateur player, at least the defensive posture should be done!
"I noticed that Xu Yue reached out and touched her chin," He Jian guessed, "maybe there were bugs or something flying on Xu Yue's face and disturbing her, right?"
"Are there bugs in the stadium?" Zhou Qun was surprised.
"I don't know, I guess. He Jian smiled, "We saw that Xu Yue first pulled Chen Nuo and said something, and then pointed at Xiao Yao and shouted, probably very dissatisfied with Xiao Yao's shot, it shouldn't be deliberately released to let him shoot." β
"But even if she is interfered with by insects, it is her own problem, there is no reason to be dissatisfied with Xiao Yao, right?" Zhou Qun smiled, "Do you want Xiao Yao to give up the opportunity to shoot, wait for her to sweep away the insects on her face, and re-defend before shooting? β
Xu Yue was indeed very dissatisfied with Xiao Yao, so much so that when the red team attacked, Xu Yue took the initiative to run to the outside to find Yu Junzhe to pass the basketball, and then took the ball to kill Xiao Yao's defensive position.
Seeing that the good sisters had grievances to vent, Chen Nuo let go of Xu Yue with a smile and ran to defend Yu Junzhe, letting Xiao Yao face Xu Yue's strong beating.
Seeing Xu Yue's murderous face, Guo Qi and Bielsa under the basket actually tacitly did not step forward to defend. So Xu Yue turned his back to Xiao Yao and rushed from the outside to the inside, and then pressed Xiao Yao to turn around and jump up to shoot. Xiao Yao, who was a little weak-hearted, didn't dare to defend with all his strength, and he couldn't escape, so he could only be pressed by Xu Yue from the outside to the basket, and then Xu Yue scored two points above his head.
The red team attacked, Xu Yue took the initiative to receive Yu Junzhe and took the basketball, and then singled... Singles Xiao Yao?" commentator He Jian said with some surprise, "Xu Yue singled Xiao Yao and scored two points. This, it seems that not only Evans is playing seriously than Bilsa, but Xu Yue of the red team is also serious. But why is she staring at Xiao Yao? They are not opposing players!"
This should be a response to Xiao Yao's goal just now. Zhou Qun smiled, "It seems that there is a story about the ball just now, but we can't know what happened now, we can only see if there are reporters to help us find answers during the post-game interview." β
After scoring two points on Xiao Yao's head, Xu Yue was not finished. The blue team attacked, and after Xiao Yao received the ball from Guo Qi from outside the bottom line, Xu Yue threw down Chen Nuo, who he wanted to mark, and began to press Xiao Yao, who was holding the ball, from the opponent's half.
Xiao Yao thought that Xu Yue would be relieved by hitting one on his head, so it was normal to catch the ball and turn around, ready to dribble and advance. As a result, as soon as he turned around, he found that Xu Yue pounced on him with great momentum. Xiao Yao, who subconsciously turned around to protect the ball, also lost the opportunity to hand over the ball to his teammates for the first time, so he could only fight against Xu Yue's harassment of constantly reaching out to break the ball, while using his back against Xu Yue to move towards the opponent's half with difficulty.
Because Xu Yue has been squeezing Xiao Yao very strongly, Xiao Yao's forward line has also been pushed into a diagonal line by Xu Yue. When Xiao Yao finally took the ball over the center line eight seconds before the violation, he was also squeezed by Xu Yue near the corner between the center line and the sideline. Seeing that Xu Yue was about to be squeezed out of the sideline, Xiao Yao could only forcibly jump up and threw the basketball into the court in the air. But Xu Yue jumped up on the spot and hit Xiao Yao's pass out of bounds.
"Di~" The referee who followed the two blew the whistle and gestured to indicate that it was the front court ball of the blue team.
The ball came out of the sideline after touching Xu Yue's hand, and the ball was still on the blue team's side, but Xiao Yao was also forced by Xu Yue to be quite embarrassed this time. Therefore, after landing on the ground, Xiao Yao folded his hands with a wry smile and bowed his head to Xu Yue and confessed his mistake: "Sister, I was wrong!
"Hmph!" Xu Yue looked down at Xiao Yao and snorted, but did not answer.
"Okay, okay, just a little lesson. At this time, Chen Nuo stepped forward and hugged Xu Yue and whispered in her ear, "People also promised to come to help our women's national basketball team take promotional photos for free, don't frighten people." β
Hearing that Xiao Yao was going to take pictures of the women's basketball team for free, Xu Yue's eyes lit up. Thinking that he had already beaten Xiao Yao and prevented him, this anger was almost out, so he glanced at Xiao Yao arrogantly and said, "If you dare to play me again, be careful that I hit you so that you can't find the north!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Yao hurriedly nodded and smiled.
"Hmph!" Xu Yue snorted again, and then ran to the basket with Chen Nuo.
Since he was standing next to the sideline, Xiao Yao also stood outside the line, took the basketball from the referee, and sent the sideline ball himself.
Xu Yue followed Chen Nuo away, the ball had already reached the front court, and Zhuo Zhiyuan also ran forward to defend Xiao Yao's sideline ball.
"If you can't score points with your ability, can you only rely on this means?" Standing in front of Xiao Yao, Zhuo Zhiyuan couldn't help but stab.
When Chen Nuo was pulled by Xu Yue and asked if his lipstick had flowers, Zhuo Zhiyuan was not far from the two, and heard the conversation between the two, combined with Xu Yue's performance just now, Zhuo Zhiyuan also guessed what happened to the two just now.
At the end of the first half, Zhuo Zhiyuan scored ten points, five rebounds, and two blocks, which is already very eye-catching among amateur players, but the most outstanding non-professional player in the first half was not him, but Xiao Yao. Even if those wonderful performances are thrown away, judging from the data alone, Xiao Yao was no worse than him in the first half. Although he didn't score, Xiao Yao also had nine assists, six rebounds, and a steal. In terms of personal data, Zhuo Zhiyuan is stronger than Xiao Yao in scoring and blocking.
Once Xiao Yao also starts to score points, then Xiao Yao's performance will be much more comprehensive than Zhuo Zhiyuan, and it will be difficult for Zhuo Zhiyuan to win the MVP of this game. If it is based on real ability to score points, Zhuo Zhiyuan will not say anything, although he threatens to win MVP, but if he really plays basketball very well, and overwhelms his own people with his ability, Zhuo Zhiyuan will still be convinced. But seeing Xiao Yao deceive Xu Yue's defense in that way to score, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned by Zhuo Zhiyuan's words, and then remembered that there was a five-second time limit for sending the sideline ball, and he didn't have time to answer Zhuo Zhiyuan, so he first raised his hand and passed the ball in his hand to Guo Qi, who stepped forward to answer.
"Do you want to let you play one alone?" Guo Qi, who stepped forward to answer, also heard Zhuo Zhiyuan's words, and did not make further moves after receiving the ball, but asked Xiao Yao who walked back to the court with a smile, "Anyway, it's an exhibition match, and it's fun to have a one-on-one." β
"What's going on?" Xiao Yao said amusedly.
"Don't dare?" Guo Qi deliberately stimulated Xiao Yaodao.
"Clumsy agitation. Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.
"Then let's fight one!" Guo Qi asked Xiao Yao in both sentences, Xiao Yao was not provoked, but Zhuo Zhiyuan took Guo Qi's words as if he was stimulated, and looked at Xiao Yaodao. Zhuo Zhiyuan felt that he was obviously the best among the amateur players, but in the first half, he was robbed of the limelight by Xiao Yao's bells and whistles, and Zhuo Zhiyuan had long wanted to go one-on-one with Xiao Yao.
"Okay, let's hit one. Looking at Zhuo Zhiyuan, who looked serious, Xiao Yao did not flinch this time, but nodded and reached out to Guo Qi to ask for the ball.
Guo Qi ha, passed the basketball to Xiao Yao, and then ran to the three-point line, waved to the other players on the court and shouted, "Singles hey, everyone pull the formation away!"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Xiao Yao was going to go head-to-head with Zhuo Zhiyuan, and the other three players of the blue team were all very cooperative to pull outside the three-point line, and several other defenders of the red team also followed and let the basket out.
"Yo, it's going to be heads-up on the court!" Although Guo Qi couldn't hear anything shouting, it was very obvious that this position was to pull out space for one-on-one singles, and the audience and commentators at the scene were also surprised and excited.
"Could it be that Xiao Yao suffered a loss from Xu Yue and wanted to get it back from Zhuo Zhiyuan?" He Jian said with some surprise.
"It's not like that," Zhou Qun shook his head and said, "Xu Yue is a professional player, it's normal to beat Xiao Yao, and he beat Xu Yue before." Later, although Xu Yue was more embarrassed to prevent Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao's ball possession was also saved, and Xiao Yao was obviously apologizing to Xu Yue just now, the two should have reconciled under Chen Nuo's mediation, Xiao Yao should not provoke other red team players at this time. β
"I feel like Guo Qi is stirring up trouble!" Zhou Qun touched his chin and continued, "They are embarrassed to play heads-up among professional players, so Guo Qi plucked Xiao Yao of the blue team and Zhuo Zhiyuan of the red team to play the best amateur heads-up to add some special viewing to the game." β
