Chapter 349: The Ball Can Still Be Played Like That
9 V_ n H^y Ϩ@ ] E bI U The players of Xi'an Gaoxin packed their bags and went straight to the stands, ready to watch the next game.
Lu Yuan only felt that he was covered in stinky sweat, and it was really uncomfortable to have no place to take a bath, so he wanted to go back to the hotel as soon as possible to take a shower, and he would take a five-hour high-speed train back to Licheng in the afternoon.
However, Bai Ye said to Lu Yuan: "Look at it, these two teams are both at the top 16 level in the country." ”
"Top 16? ”
"Idiot, the affiliated of the Southern Sports University is just barely getting into the quarterfinals, to be honest, when it comes to the top 16, it is basically the strongest team in the country, except for the north and south, the victory and defeat are between the first line. ”
Lu Yuan heard Bai Ye say this, scratched his neck and felt a little itchy, but he didn't feel anything.
After all, he is considered a person who has eaten and seen, he has played and won all the strongest high schools in the United States, and what is the great thing about the top 16 teams in the Chinese National Competition.
However, when he saw the players from both sides on the stage, Lu Yuan was still taken aback, he pointed to a player wearing a red No. 13 jersey on the field and shouted: "Wow, why does this person still have a beard?
Bai Ye glared at him and signaled that he was too loud, although the red-clothed No. 13 on the court did have an old face, black and strong, with a circle of hairy beard on his chin, and a bunch of hair on his arms, obviously a person with more body hair.
This No. 13 glanced at the Lizhong stand, intentionally or unintentionally, and wondered if he heard Lu Yuan's words.
Bai Ye said: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone is the same, all high school students, just you are young." ”
Lu Yuan scratched his head and said, "But with so many beards and hair, won't it affect the play? Wouldn't it be too hot?"
Bai Ye didn't want to talk to him anymore, and concentrated on watching the game, Jingdezhen Qunxing High School is a new team in Jiangxi in the past two years, and it has entered the national competition for two consecutive years, and it is not easy to compete in the fiercely competitive South China Division.
A total of 29 teams in the South Region participated in the South Division of the National Competition, 3 regional champion teams had a bye in the first round, and the remaining 26 teams fought against each other, and the opponent in the first round had a 1 in 25 probability that it was Jingdezhen Qunxing High School.
In addition to the potential opponent Qunxing, the other high school is Taiyuan Foreign Chinese, their fame is obviously much greater than Qunxing High School, they have not won the championship in the NHBA, but have long been a potential opponent of Huaqing University High School, a strong challenger.
Last year, in the NHBA North District Eight into Four game, Huaqing Affiliated High School defeated Taiyuan Foreign Chinese, but in that game, Gan played 30 minutes and scored a total of 9 points, which was the only game in the entire season in which he did not score doubles.
Gan saw that the two sides were ready to start the game, his eyes were on the court, last year's eight-in-four was indeed his worst memory, the team as a whole won steadily, but he was disgraced by Taiyuan foreign Chinese.
The reason is that the two towers of Taiyuan Foreign Chinese Inner Line, No. 4 Zhou Qiming, and No. 5 Hu Huayong, they are different from Xi'an High-tech Ma Weiwei and Cheng Kuike, both of whom can attack and defend well and are the dual core of the team.
Therefore, Taiyuan foreign Chinese is completely opposite to Xi'an Gaoxin in terms of play, they are around the inside of the two players, the outside line is dedicated to defense and fixed-point shooting, it can be said that after watching the Xi'an Gaoxin game, and then watching Taiyuan foreign Chinese, it will be very interesting.
Lu Yuan didn't quite understand the interesting part, he had been studying the No. 13 beard, touching his chin from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would also grow a beard.
The average high school student will have some soft hairs on his mouth or chin, and once he starts to shave with a knife, he will harden and slowly grow into a beard. Like the No. 13, it looks like it has been scraped, and nine times out of ten it is too much soft hair, and it can't be done if you don't shave.
Except for the No. 13 bearded boy, the rest of Qunxing High School looks mediocre, none of them are particularly tall, and none of them are particularly strong, and they are all ordinary players in all positions.
In comparison, from the foreign Chinese academy in Taiyuan, most of the players are from Shanxi, tall and strong, No. 4 Zhou Qiming and No. 5 Hu Huayong are two iron towers, standing on the field as if high school students beat junior high school students.
Like Lizhong, no matter how you say it, there is a big guy like Wang Yourong to support the scene, so the audience present is silently not optimistic about this Jingdezhen star.
The game began, and Taiyuan Foreign Chinese took the lead in winning the ball and began the first attack.
Taiyuan Foreign Chinese is a team mainly on the inside line, so the overall rhythm is slow, and when you get the ball, you slowly push the half, and then Zhou Qiming and Hu Huayong are in high and low positions.
No. 4 Zhou Qiming was born with a big waist and a round waist, less than 2 meters tall, but it looks like a big lump, and when he squeezes the inner line, it takes up a large piece.
But his technique is quite good, after taking the ball in the low post, he turns a little, slips the bottom line to the other side, and licks the basket with his right hand.
On the contrary, Hu Huayong, who is taller, is mostly active in high positions, he is also huge, but he is very flexible, and his hand-to-hand passing skills are very good.
After a few rounds, the side of Qunxing High School played ordinary, and there was no improvement, and the defense of Taiyuan Foreign Chinese was quite tough, so they had nothing to do.
And Taiyuan foreign Chinese played steadily, from the inside line little by little, for a time to beat Jingdezhen stars no temper.
Lu Yuan stared at it for a while, and complained: "What do the stars of Jingdezhen play, they don't score much, and the interior defense can't prevent it, that beard plays the scoring guard, why can't he score, and he still keeps the ball." ”
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, Bai Ye is also strange, how can this Jingdezhen star be relatively mediocre in all aspects, how can he enter the national competition for two consecutive years?
You must know that the South China Division is not a joke, the real strong players are in the clouds, and there is no particularly weak team, and any so-called strong team may capsize.
So what is this team hiding?
……………………
Three minutes into the first half, Taiyuan Foreign Chinese led the Jingdezhen stars by 9 points 11:2, although Taiyuan Foreign Chinese dominated the field, but the point difference did not open too wide, because they are not a team good at attacking.
However, it will not be so easy to recover nine points from them, and their defense is as tough as steel.
An outside jumper in the Taiyuan Chinese offense missed, and it looked like their outside shooting was not very good, and the Jingdezhen stars got the backcourt rebound and immediately handed the ball to No. 13.
Gao Jing looked through the roster of players and knew that this player had a strange name, called Ran Ding, the surname Ran is not common, and there is not much for a single name.
This Ran Ding held the ball, dribbled through the half court without hurrying, and then suddenly accelerated to break through the middle.
His speed is not particularly fast, but compared to the average guard, he is very strong, especially with two arms, and he has the feeling of a small power forward.
He went all the way into the three-second zone, and two foreign Chinese players came up, only to see Ran Ding open his elbow, hit the basket like a small tank, and then threw the ball upwards.
"Beep!"
The ball flew, but the referee's whistle blew, and two defenders of Taiyuan Foreign Chinese fouled.
It was indeed a foul, and when Ran Ding raised his hand, the arms of the two defenders hit his hands, but they didn't seem very convinced, and they argued with the referee that it was Ran Ding who took the initiative to put his arm up.
Regardless of whether he came up or not, a foul was a foul, Ran Ding stood on the free throw line, hit both free throws, and recovered 2 points.
Looking back, Qunxing High School did not have much way to attack the inside line of Taiyuan Foreign Chinese, and still watched Zhou Qiming score on the inside.
But in the counterattack, the big forward of Qunxing High School, receiving Ran Ding's assist, hit a direct shot from outside the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer.
The offense of Qunxing High School seems to have improved, and Taiyuan Foreign Chinese did not expect that they would be so determined to shoot three-pointers directly on the outside.
At 13:7, the difference came to 6 points.
Taiyuan Foreign Chinese failed to attack a position, and Qunxing High School once again got the backcourt rebound, their defense contracted very strongly, and after getting the ball, they still pushed forward.
The retreat of Taiyuan Chinese was very fast, and Ran Ding did not find an opportunity to kill the inside line, so he stayed on the outside line to organize the attack.
Facing the defender, he repeatedly dribbled to look for opportunities, Lu Yuan looked very anxious, and said: "Why don't you break through, grinding and chirping." ”
Lu Yuan's play has always been concise and fast, and he never looks for opportunities on the outside, Bai Ye listened and said: "Everyone has a different style, I think they are all straight like you." ”
As he was talking, Ran Ding suddenly dribbled and pretended to break through, and then took a step back to jump.
The defender jumped up to block, but instead of shooting, Ran Ding leaned over and hit the defender, and then threw the ball into the air.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded again, and Taiyuan Foreign Chinese fouled again and sent Ran Ding to the free throw line.
Lu Yuan's eyes were stunned, and he said, "This is okay, I thought it could only be done under the basket." ”
Lu Yuan also learned a lot of tricky techniques in the United States, such as feigning to cheat and foul after hitting the basket, but he really didn't expect to hit people after shaking them up like this.
At this time, Ran Ding stood on the free throw line and hit both free throws, 13:9, and the difference had narrowed to 4 points.
When Taiyuan Foreign Chinese worked hard in the offense, grabbed two frontcourt rebounds and scored 2 points, and re-stretched the difference to 6 points, Qunxing High School turned around and transferred the ball in a wide area, hitting a three-point shot in the bottom corner, 15:12, and the difference became 3 points again.
In this way, you have two points, I have three points, you have two points, and I will play the rhythm of free throws, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before Stars High School catches up with the score or even overtakes.
At this time, Bai Ye understood why Jingdezhen Qunxing High School could stand out in the cruel South China District, it was indeed two brushes, and the five players on the field could each throw three points.
And Lu Yuan was still immersed in a thought, "Can the ball still be played like this?"
