Chapter Seventy-Four: The Great Battle on the Beach
"Come on, come on, everybody come here. Wu Hualin beckoned all the players to gather together, threw the basketball in his hand, and fiddled with it on his fingertips, "Everyone had a good time in the beach relay, now let's play beach basketball again." β
"Beach basketball?" "Guys, you look at me, I'll look at you, "How do you play?"
"Wait. Wu Hualin threw the basketball to the players, turned around and took out a few rolls of thumb-thick red rope from the large paper bag he brought.
"Grab these ropes, take them, and make a rectangular pitch on the beach, and cover them with a little sand, so that part of the rope is exposed. Wu Hualin threw the rope in his hand to Mo Yufeng, and then pointed to the basket placed on the edge of the beach and said to the other group: "You go and two people to move the basket over." β
The basket is the kind used for passing in the skill competition, and it is obviously specially prepared for the players in the hotel.
The players did as they were told, and a few minutes later, an improvised court surrounded by red ropes appeared on the beach, about 1.5 times the length of a standard court, and about the same width, except that there was no three-point line and no restricted area, just a simple rectangle.
"Put these two baskets in the middle of the baseline. Wu Hualin commanded the players with the baskets.
"How the hell is this going to be played?" all the team members wondered.
"I'll talk about the rules. Wu Hualin cleared his throat and said: "The rules of beach basketball are very simple, that is, find a way to put the basketball into the opponent's basket, whether you put it in or throw it from a distance, the only thing to emphasize is that everyone can only run one step with the ball, and one more step is considered a walking violation, the ball belongs to the other party, and the violator is punished with three push-ups, and the other rules are the same as the regular basketball game." Grouping, according to what you just said, six against six, for each goal scored, the opponent does ten push-ups, ten balls as the limit, and the losing group has fifty frog jumps. β
"Coach, can we take a step before dribbling?" asked Liang Yu as he poked out of the crowd.
"Yes, let's get started!"
The Polytechnic players were divided into two groups and lined up on opposite sides of the pitch, and both sides stared at each other with wide eyes.
Wu Hualin stood in the center of the court with a basketball, looked at the two groups of players, and shouted, "The center is ready to jump the ball!"
"Three, two, one, go!" shouted and the basketball was thrown into the air.
Deng Kai and Jiang Ruihua shouted, "snorting" the yellow sand splashed under their feet, and the two jumped up at the same time, reaching out to grab the basketball in the air.
However, the sand under their feet was too soft, and the momentum of the jump was removed by the soft sand, and their bodies jumped crookedly into the air.
Fortunately, the height of Wu Hualin's throw was much lower than usual.
"Smack. The basketball was touched by Deng Kai first, and with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was dialed back into his own camp.
"Up. Mo Yufeng waved his hand, took a big stride, and rushed forward first, but his feet slipped as soon as he stepped out, and "poof" fell to the ground.
"Haha. Wang Tao laughed and reached out to catch the basketball in the air, "Boss, be careful! β
As he spoke, he threw the ball to Huo Minrui with a flick of his hand, and he cautiously stepped forward two steps, "The damn beach is too soft!"
In the distance, Qin Zhijie brought up bursts of yellow sand and ran towards Huo Minrui with a loud shout, "Let's fight it out!"
Seeing the menacing appearance of his little teammates, Huo Minrui shook his hand and passed the ball to Wang Tao, who was rushing forward.
"Boss!" Wang Tao received the ball in his hand, looked at Mo Yufeng in front of him, raised his hand and threw the ball out.
It's too late, it's too soon!
A person suddenly jumped out of the air, "snapped" and hugged the flying basketball, and "poofed" into the sand.
"Coach, does he count as a walk?" Wang Tao shouted as he pointed to Liang Yu who had been planted in the beach.
"Not really. Wu Hualin glared at Wang Tao, "Violation, foul, I will blow it, I don't need you to remind me." β
Liang Yu on the ground passed the ball to Luo Tian, who came to answer, and at the same time, Yunzhou also greeted him.
Luo Tian put the ball on his waist, bowed his upper body and bent his knees slightly, and stared at Yunzhou in front of him with his eyes.
"Come on, let's go head-to-head!" Yun Zhou hooked his finger at him.
Luo Tian's mouth pouted, "Cut, this is not the venue you are good at, I'm not afraid of you." β
"Snort. The sand under his feet flew wildly, Luo Tian's upper body swung rapidly to the left, and a strong force erupted under his feet, and he stepped out in one step, and instantly came to the right side of the cloud boat.
"Yes, there is progress!" Yun Zhou said slightly.
"Hmph! it's already slow!" Luo Tian stood beside Yun Zhou, and the basketball in his hand slammed into the sand.
"Smack. The basketball did not bounce off the ground as he expected, but like a big stone stuck in the mud, embedded in it and not moving, but Luo Tian rushed forward because of habit.
Well?
His hands were empty, Luo Tian couldn't help but look back, the basketball was lying quietly on the ground, laughing at him mercilessly.
"Hahaha, stupid, do you think you're on the court? You want to dribble the ball in the sand?" Yun Zhou smiled and picked up the basketball on the side and threw it to Huo Minrui, who rushed over.
Mo Yufeng waved his hand, "All participate in the attack!"
In this kind of beach where you can't dribble, your individual singles ability is completely limited, and only relying on the team's passing and coordination is the best way to attack.
"Pass the ball more, play more cooperation, and tear up their defense!" Huo Minrui held the ball and commanded his teammates, giving full play to the basic quality of organizing defenders.
"Okay!" the other five pressed together.
The form on the field is very delicate, and there are fierce sparks between the attacking team and the defending team.
"Strangle them!" Qin Zhijie shouted, the yellow sand splashed under his feet, and quickly ran to Huo Minrui, waving his arms up and down with his arms outstretched, while muttering in his mouth: "How is it, how is it, you can't get by!"
This is what Luo Tian taught him, to hit the other party both physically and psychologically.
"This kid, when did you become so dishonest?" Huo Rui frowned, his gaze wandered around, observing the form on the field.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and the second is a mental illness that is contagious.
He has been recovering from injuries in the past few months and has not trained with his teammates, so he doesn't know that Qin Zhijie is deeply affected by his teammates.
"Kids, be honest. Wang Tao's tall body leaned against Qin Zhijie suddenly, completely blocking him aside.
Seeing this, Huo Minmin took a quick step to the right, flashed Qin Zhijie and jumped forward vigorously, and at the same time handed the basketball player in his hand to Wang Tao, and ran forward again.
"Wang Tao, here!" Yun Zhou opened his hand to ask for the ball, and the ball shot into his hand quickly, and then suddenly twisted around and threw the ball out.
About four meters away from the basket, Deng Kai and Jiang Ruihua looked up at the basketball above, pushing each other with their upper bodies.
"Don't think about it, I won't let it go to you. Deng Kai gritted his teeth, and his body slammed into Jiang Ruihua, knocking the latter half of his body away, and reached out to grab the basketball in the air.
"Hehe, let's go head-on!" Jiang Ruihua pounced with a strange smile. Although he was squeezed away, the opponent's speed was not fast, and it was a beach, which gave him a chance to intercept again.
"It's a fool to go head-to-head with you!" Deng Kai rolled his eyes and quickly threw the ball behind him.
"Well done. Huo Minrui, who kept up, pushed with both hands, and the basketball he had just started changed direction and flew into the hands of Mo Yufeng in front of him.
"Come on, boss!" shouted the members of the same group.
I saw Mo Yufeng holding the ball in front of his chest, taking a step forward, and then kicking his feet, the whole person rose into the air, aimed at the basket in a forward posture, and pushed the ball out with both hands.
The basketball pulled out a long straight line and smashed into the basket with a "bang", and at the same time, Mo Yufeng, who had successfully shot, also lay on the ground.
"Well done!"
"Handsome, boss!"
The main team members cheered collectively.
"Toot!" Wu Hualin blew the whistle, "One to zero, push-ups ready!"
"Alas!"
The other group of players who lost the ball immediately put their hands on the ground and quickly completed ten push-ups.
"Don't let them pass so easily, it's not fun to eat sand. Luo Tian looked at his teammates dissatisfied.
Liang Yu was very helpless, "I don't want to either, but the captain's speed is faster than mine, what can I do!"
Qin Zhijie raised his arms and shouted, "Come on, brothers, try to let them taste the sand too." β
"Come on!"
"Cooperate, pay attention to cooperation!" Qin Zhijie hugged the ball and looked at his teammates who were constantly running beside him, passed the ball to Liang Yu in front of him, and ran forward quickly.
Luo Tian, who was running in front, proposed: "Let's stand in a triangle or a quadrilateral, and keep passing the ball, so that they can't do anything about us!"
"Okay!" Luo Tian's family was immediately recognized by everyone.
"Snort", the sand under his feet kept sliding in all directions, and the six people of the substitute group soon formed a neat formation.
Qin Zhijie was behind, Liang Yu and Du Guolin stood in front of him respectively, and the three of them formed an inverted triangle, while Luo Tian stood two meters in front of the two, forming a triangle with the two in front, and the four of them together formed a diamond shape.
"Yo you, you're going to fight, and you're going to bring troops to set up a formation!" Yun Zhou's eyes flashed with excitement, now you have to play!
Luo Tian squinted at Yun Zhou and said, "The stadium is like a battlefield, Brother Yun, you don't even understand this, do you?"
"Watch me break your formation. β
"Here we go!" shouted the bench as he lunged forward.
The basketball "whoosh" was passed quickly in the hands of several people, each person immediately ran forward after passing the ball, or connected with the teammates next to him, the diamond shape composed of four people kept changing, and the position of the same person kept changing, and soon rushed to the front of the main group.
"Smack. The basketball fell into Luo Tian's hands, and Yunzhou immediately ran towards him.
"Little Luo Tian, give the ball to my brother obediently!" Yun Zhou stretched out his arm and poked towards the basketball in Luo Tian's hand.
"Brother Yun, you are too naΓ―ve!" Luo Tian smiled, "whoosh" shook his hand and threw the ball behind him.
Yun Zhou said, "Return!"
Before he could react, Luo Tian had already passed by him with flying yellow sand, and the speed was not fast, but it was not easy to catch up on the beach.
The ball was passed back to Du Guolin, he raised his hand and passed the ball to Liang Yu on the left, and Liang Yu passed the ball to Luo Tian who passed Yunzhou before Mo Yufeng pounced.
