Chapter 76: It's Not Alone Fighting
It doesn't matter which team loses or which team wins, it doesn't matter to the audience.
After a wonderful half-time game, the Yumatang team, which was originally regarded as the fish belly team, was only 2 points behind the seeded team Yang Liu, which surprised the audience. The frantic suppression of the Yangliu team and the wonderful resistance of Yumatang made the game exciting, and there were more and more spectators on the court.
At this time, they no longer regarded the confrontation between the two teams as a one-sided slaughter battle, but an equal head-to-head match, and their attitude towards the Yumatang team gradually changed. People can play with a village in that way, what else is there to say? Even if you lose, there is no shame. The people are kind, and most of the audience's attitude towards the Yumatang team has changed from contempt at the beginning to respect now.
There is a popular saying in society that only the strong are respected, and there is indeed a reason for it.
However, the Willow team didn't think so. In their opinion, the Yumatang team, which is as weak as ants, seems to be crumbling under the bombardment of the main force of their whole team, but they bite the score tightly, making them feel angry, after half the game of analysis and statistics, they think that the initiator is Long Yifeng, if he did not have the needle and the key moment to score, the broken car of the Yumatang team would have been destroyed by them.
At the beginning of the third quarter, no matter what the situation was, Long Yifeng was surrounded by more than two players of the Yangliu team, and once he held the ball, the opponent immediately implemented the three-person package policy. As for the other players, the other two players are cross-defended and let them throw when they have the chance.
It can be said that their bag clamp is still effective, every time Long Yifeng gets the ball, there are always six hands flying up and down there, dense, like a fishing net, although they can't find the ball in Long Yifeng's hand, but it is not easy for him to break through the three with the ball. The only good thing about this is that Long Yifeng attracts some of the firepower and shares a lot of pressure for the other three teammates, and they are no longer pressed by the opponent as they were in the first half.
Unfortunately, several good opportunities were wasted by them, and after three minutes of the third quarter, the score was 40:48, and the Yumatang team only scored two points, while the Yangliu team seized the opportunity to score ten points in a row.
This can't go on like this!
Long Yifeng decided to change his strategy, using the service gap to explain to the three teammates to actively block and dismantle, if he divides the ball in the past, don't rush to shoot, hold it steady in his hand, find an opportunity to pass it back, and try to complete the final shot by himself.
Re-battle, Long Yifeng gave the ball in his hand to Long Haigang, Long Haigang quickly held the ball over the middle line, Long Yifeng and the opponent's two defenders ran across the middle line at the same time, bypassing the substitutes who blocked the dismantling, Long Haigang seized the opportunity to divide the ball to Long Yifeng, Long Yifeng took two steps outside the three-point line, shot without defense, three points!
43:48
Changed to the Yang Liu team serve, and changed to Long Yifeng to defend their ball-handling guards. In the face of Long Yifeng's defense, the guards of the Yangliu team were a little nervous, and the ball was cut off by Long Yifeng three or five times, although the opponent came up with two players to defend, Long Yifeng had already given the ball to the substitute players around him, and the substitute players dribbled to the opponent's basket and ran under the opponent's basket, and immediately moved the pass before the opponent's defenders arrived, and soon went outside the three-point line.
However, instead of making a rash move, they saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Long Yifeng, who was free from the attack, who hid behind the blocker to complete the shot.
Two points!45:48!
At this time, Long Yifeng is like a ghost killer, as long as there is a chance to shoot, he will shoot, and basically he will score points. He's calm, his goal is to win with his team, and to win, you have to score in all sorts of unbelievable ways. When it is not necessary, he tries to avoid the big man of the Willow team, stay away from him, and scoring is the most important thing.
The score rose alternately, no matter how the Yangliu team scored, Long Yifeng always tried every means to return them a goal, or three points, or five points. Some go directly to the basket, sometimes three points outside the line, and even three points from beyond the line. Of course, there are also a lot of twos plus ones.
In Long Yifeng's hands, there have been three Yangliu players who have scored more than three fouls, and most of the fouls cannot escape the fate of two plus one or three plus one.
Until the end of the third quarter, the score remained tied at 62:62.
In the absence of the other three main players of the Yumatang team, they still won the Yangliu team by two points in the third quarter, of which 18 points were Long Yifeng's masterpieces, and only 6 points were scored by other players. On the other hand, the Yangliu team, as long as Long Yifeng defended the object, basically did not score.
Fortunately, the defense of the Yumatang team is not tightly bitten one-on-one, they cooperate with Long Yifeng, except for his defense, the others belong to their joint defense. Long Yifeng generally defends the ball carrier with the aim of breaking the ball. His endless and unbelievable breaks, so that few people in the Yangliu team dare to dribble in front of him, as long as they see him approaching, they will not hesitate to pass the ball in their hands.
In the third quarter, the audience outside the stadium watched with relish and cheered. They watched the Yangliu team score, and when they turned around, they immediately saw how the Yumatang team scored in retaliation. For the Yangliu team, it is relatively easy to score, Yumatang's defense, except for Long Yifeng and Long Haigang, who are more professional, the other players can't threaten them at all, they can bloom more and easily pull up the score.
However, what is depressing is that no matter how they score, they still can't stop the Yumatang team from scoring, to be precise, they can't stop Long Yifeng from shooting and scoring, or assisting. Your own side can develop more points, everyone scores, and the other side only has one scoring point, but you can't contain the other party, that's the most very frustrating and frustrating thing.
In the fourth quarter, the main forces of both sides all played.
The Yangliu team changed their defensive methods, using their 1.92-meter-tall big man to deal with Long Yifeng, entangled him by sticking, leaning, winding, and topping, regardless of whether he had the ball in his hand or not, trying to keep him out of reach, let alone let him get close to the three-point line, once he got close, he would find a way to push out. In addition, there are people who cooperate with big men to assist in defense.
The purpose of this kind of self-sacrificing defense is to give up the big man who does not hold the ball and cannot score, and also entangle Long Yifeng, so that he has no chance to work, so that the two of them will be consumed on the basketball court in the fourth quarter.
I have to admit that the opponent's trick is still very effective, just three minutes after playing, Long Yifeng did not touch the ball on the baseboard, and most of the time he was busy playing physical battles with the big man. Of course, the big man on the other side didn't ask for it, and his goal was to entangle Long Yifeng. This situation is equivalent to the full game of four teams and four.
In that case, the shortcomings of the overall weakness of the Yumatang team were highlighted, in the three minutes that Long Yifeng could not hold the ball, the Yangliu team scored a total of 10 points, and the Yumatang pair only scored 2 points, and the Yangliu team played a small peak of 10:2.
The Yumatang team wanted to pause, and Long Yifeng explained to his teammates:
"It's still going to be a block. As long as the big man on the other side sticks to me, and I can't get rid of them, someone has to do the pick-and-roll to get me out of the entanglement, even if it's not off the ball. After the entanglement just now, I see that the other party's big man is too tired, as long as I block him a little, I can get rid of it. Of course, they may also help defend, but don't be afraid, we still have a chance. ”
On the splitboard, the record is 72:64.
The Willows led by eight points and were more than eight minutes away from the end of the game. The Yumatang team served, Long Yifeng sent the ball to Long Zaiping who was in the vacant position, Long Zaiping passed the ball to Long Chengkui, and then took two steps to block the big man who tried to entangle Long Yifeng in the past, Long Yifeng bypassed Long Zaiping on the left side, caught the basketball from Long Chengkui, did not stick to the ball at all, aimed and shot, and the basketball was hollow into the net.
72:66
The Yangliu team held the ball, Long Yifeng dodged the big man who was pasted up, circled around the Yangliu players, saw the opportunity and broke the ball, and threw it to Wang Donghai, who did not follow on the twelve-yard line, Wang Donghai easily shot, two points!
72:68
The Yangliu team held the ball, moved the ball to the basket for two consecutive passes, and temporarily gave up the big man who was entangled with Long Yifeng and threw a blue hit in the air.
74:68
Long Zaiping sent the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Long Yifeng, who continued to dribble and break through, encountered a strong defense of the big man at one meter of the three-point line, feint to shoot, pass the ball to Long Haigang, and at the same time ran horizontally to near the three-point line at a zero degree angle, and the big man who jumped up was out of control, Long Yifeng shot three points in an unguarded state.
The score became 74:71
The willow team passed the ball to the big man, the big man dribbled around looking for someone, and suddenly a black shadow flashed, the basketball was broken, and he shot easily inside the free throw line behind the big man, two points!
74:73
The big man of the Yangliu team turned around and looked at Long Yifeng, who seemed to be very relaxed, and was depressed. This guy has been playing for nearly a game, except for having a head-to-head encounter with himself, he didn't give himself a chance to fight with him at all, which made him a little angry, and said to Long Yifeng:
"I have the ability to go head-to-face face to face."
began to run to his own basket, but he didn't know that Long Yifeng was not fooled, and seemed to follow him carelessly, but suddenly attacked and pounced to break the ball of the Yang Liu player, the ball flew out, Long Chengkui received the basketball, dodged the defender, hit a two-point layup in three steps, and added a free throw.
With Long Sung-kui hitting a free throw, the score was: 76:74
The deceived big man drew a middle finger to Long Yifeng, and Long Yifeng gave him a thumbs down, so angry that his face turned red.
The audience who understood next to them burst into laughter and cheers.
