Chapter 362: Change
At halftime, the two sides played 43:45 in the first half, and the Southern Sports University took the lead to end the first half.
Lin Xin scored 10 points in the first half and handed out nine assists, which was the best performance of the half, and he also contributed two steals.
In fact, he is not in good enough form right now, and before the start of the national competition, he suffered a contusion after colliding his knee with a teammate in training.
For seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school students, this injury is nothing, as long as a little treatment and recuperation, they can recover quickly.
But Lin Xin has no time to treat and recuperate, the national competition is imminent, and the system of the knockout round is destined to be a life-and-death battle for any one.
This year is Lin Xin's last year, and after the college entrance examination is over, he has successfully reached the score line and will definitely be admitted to Southern Sports University. He will join the NSU basketball team and continue to compete in college basketball for the next four years.
In high school, his last dream was to reach the finals of the national competition, which he had set since junior high school.
At that time he was only 165, a short and inconspicuous man. To this day, he is still only 175, and he is still the inconspicuous one on the basketball court.
However, in six years, he has grown into one of the best point guards in the country, and in his first year of high school, his performance in the NHBA was extremely impressive, and many people pointed out that if he was a little higher, to 185, to 190, he would be the best point guard in the country in the future.
It's a pity that people's height is destined from birth, and a height of 175 is enough for ordinary people, but for basketball players, it is far from enough.
There is no shortage of short fighters on the basketball court, Boggs, Boykins, Webb, Thomas, who have earned the respect of the basketball world, but when people talk about them, they can't avoid one topic: What if they were taller?
Lin Xin faced the same problem, in the NHBA, he was respected by many people, everyone called him Bald Eagle eagle, and many universities wanted to recruit him.
But any basketball player, what they want is not respect, but victory, and Lin Xin is no exception.
In the locker room attached to Southern Sports University, Lin Xin applied ice cubes to his knees, and the fierce game in the first half made him feel a little sore in his knees.
Except for Lin Xin's accident, the performance of the others was very average, Lei Zhen scored 5 points and 2 rebounds in the first half, and Wang Qing only scored 2 points, contributing 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Lin Xin is not a captain who likes to yell at his teammates in the locker room, and he never blames anyone no matter how his teammates play.
Because he firmly believes that he can rely on his own strength to solve problems.
Yu Zhanbo outlined the tactical points of the second half in front of the tactical board, asking the players in the front line to strengthen their defense, strengthen the confrontation, and not let the opponent find the offensive space by transferring the ball so easily.
Everyone listened flutteringly, and there was a sense of uncertainty in their eyes, which was what Yu Zhanbo was most worried about.
It's been several months since I went to Beijing during the winter vacation, and the warm-up match with Huaqing University has long been over, but the impact doesn't seem to have faded.
Yu Zhanbo is now simply repentant, he was full of confidence at that time, and said that he would go to Beijing to contact the king of the national competition and enhance his confidence, but he lost all his confidence.
At the beginning of the year, the team was strong and ambitious, but after more than half a year, the team's heart was unconsciously dispersed. Especially when it comes down to the group, it is desperate to be divided into a group with Deming High School.
They also wanted to be in a group with Bayi Middle School, just in time for a chance to be embarrassed, and they could reach the semi-finals of the South Region relatively easily, but with Deming Middle School, it would be dangerous, and it could even be said that there was a chance that there would be no play.
But in fact, this mentality is more dangerous than the group situation, on the basketball court, this knockout format, anything is possible, and the premise of the possibility is to believe that you can win.
The players affiliated with the NSU lack such belief, or rather, this belief is being lost.
The halftime break ended quickly, the two sides returned to the court, Yulin Middle School played actually well in the first half, but Lin Xin really couldn't limit this point, and their three-point feeling was not good, and the next few opportunities were not grasped, resulting in a two-point behind.
After the start of the second half of the game, Yulin Middle School adjusted the lineup and playing style in time, and Mr. Zheng Qifeng put on a lineup of double point guards on the court to further speed up the speed of passing the ball on the outside and improve offensive efficiency.
The affiliated of the Southern Sports University still retained the lineup and style of play in the first half, and did not make any changes.
On the sidelines, Liang Boyu took this opportunity to say to Gao Jing: "Xiaojing, the format of the tournament is a decisive victory, and every game is a battle of life and death, so if it can change, it must change." Unless the strength is much higher than the opponent, it will not change, otherwise the same is failure. ”
Gao Jing listened and nodded, Lu Yuan was sandwiched in the middle, listened to Professor Liang's words, and said, "Actually, the affiliation of Southern Sports University has also changed. ”
Liang Boyu asked, "Really, tell me, where have they changed?"
Lu Yuan sold the guanzi and said that he would not tell Old Man Liang.
"Stinky boy, I've been to the United States, I'm even more ghostly, I'll see what new name you can have in tomorrow's game. “
Liang Boyu thought hatefully in his heart, in the eyes of Liang Boyu, Lu Yuan was a ghost, but he didn't know that in the eyes of many people, Lu Yuan was actually a nerd.
Yulin Middle School's change of formation had an effect, their positional attack played more and more fluently, the transfer of the ball, the transmission of the ball was simply seamless, there was no stagnation, once the opportunity was passed, they immediately shot, and the score immediately rose.
"Old man Zheng does have a set of training players, but the cards in his hand are not good, and they are some patchwork players every year. However, this year's 12th looks like a good seedling, and if it grows up, it may be able to make a difference. ”
Liang Boyu's evaluation of Coach Zheng Qifeng is still quite high, and they were able to reach the quarterfinals of the South Region last year, which was already a big upset, and it was a great result. This year, several core players in the third year of high school have gone one after another, but they are still full of combat effectiveness.
Yulin Middle School once overtook the score and regained the initiative on the field, once the offensive team played smoothly, it would be difficult to contain it later.
Lu Yuan looked at the passing of Yulin Middle School, and felt that their offensive coordination was really too smooth, and the pass did not have a little hesitation and hesitation, and almost did not stick to the ball.
I don't know how hard group training and boring basic skills practice are needed to hone this kind of passing.
Yulin Middle School opened up the score little by little, in comparison, the affiliated students of Southern Sports University can also score, but the high-intensity game makes the players' tactical running begin to fail, and some of the usual tactical cooperation begins to fail.
"This semester, didn't Zhanbo let the players practice high-intensity tactical coordination? Look at their running position, as soon as the speed and intensity come up, the ball can't be passed in place. “
Liang Boyu looked at it from the sidelines and shook his head, the team's tactics couldn't be played, nine times out of ten it was because of insufficient training, as soon as the intensity came up, the pass was not timely, and the difference was 0.1 seconds, a tactic might fail.
The score was pulling away, and when the Southern Sports University subsidiary changed from leading by 2 points to trailing by 8 points, Yu Zhanbo called a timeout, and this time he finally made a substitution adjustment, replaced Wang Kede, and also played a double control position.
But the double point guard is not something that can be played if you want to play, after Wang Kede came on the court, he was obviously a little nervous, two attacks, a blind handful of random shots, a direct three non-sticks, and a ball control error, giving Yulin Middle School a chance to counterattack, and the score difference was even greater.
At this time, Lin Xin, who had been carefully controlling the team's offense and passing the ball for his teammates, finally couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't watch the team play like this anymore, he decided to come by himself.
He first shot outside the three-point line directly after blocking and dismantling, hit the first three-pointer of the game, and then successfully steal the opponent on the defensive end.
added free throws and hit three points, Lin Xin helped the team chase 6 points in a row in just a dozen seconds.
Lu Yuan happily cheered loudly on the sidelines as if he had scored a goal, Liang Boyu looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Why are you so excited?"
Lu Yuan replied: "You see, this is their change. “
On the court, Lin Xin was not ready to stop here, and his teammates were also inspired by him scoring six points in a row, Wang Qingfeng blocked the opponent's shot, and the affiliated of Southern Sports University got another chance to counterattack.
Lin Xin took the ball over the half court, shook the opponent with a change of speed, accelerated to kill the inside, turned around to deceive the defender, and then hit a direct mid-distance jumper.
2 points, the gap was suddenly narrowed to two points. The game, which was originally a little dull, suddenly became fierce and exciting again.
Yulin Middle School shouted a timeout, and Lin Xin's sudden force was unexpected.
At this time, Liang Boyu found that he might really have expected one thing wrong, that is, in the basketball team, the sudden heroism that will never be erased and faded can change everything.
So, he hurriedly took out his phone and said, "I'll go to the toilet!" to see if there is a remedy.
